 06-20/\n\nJoin XR Boston's Book Club as we learn about degrowth\, an idea 
 and a movement that challenges global capitalism and its dependency on eco
 nomic growth. We are reading Less is More: How Degrowth Will Save the Worl
 d by Jason Hickel. In our next session\, we will be wrapping up the book a
 nd informally discuss Chapter 6: Everything is Connected\, starting on pag
 e 249\, via Zoom.\n\nSign up below to receive the Zoom link prior to the s
 ession.\n\nFrom the author: “The world has finally awoken to the reality
  of climate breakdown and ecological collapse. Now we must face up to its 
 primary cause. Capitalism demands perpetual expansion\, which is devastati
 ng the living world. There is only one solution that will lead to meaningf
 ul and immediate change: degrowth.\n\nIf we want to have a shot at halting
  the crisis\, we need to slow down and restore the balance. We need to cha
 nge how we see nature and our place in it\, shifting from a philosophy of 
 domination and extraction to one that’s rooted in reciprocity and regene
 ration. We need to evolve beyond the dogmas of capitalism to a new system 
 that’s fit for the twenty-first century.\n\nBut what about jobs? What ab
 out health? What about progress? This book tackles these questions and off
 ers an inspiring vision for what a post-capitalist economy could look like
 . An economy that’s more just\, more caring\, and more fun. An economy t
 hat will not only lift us out of our current crisis\, but also restore our
  sense of connection to a world that's brimming with life. By taking less\
 , we can become more.”
