Description

"In this clip from Advaya's online course, A Journey Home, Dr Jason Hickel does 3 important things:

1) He situates us in the context of the ecological crisis, and what's at stake.

2) He describes how this crisis has been caused not by humans, as such, but by a particular economic system, namely the capitalist system which depends completely on growth

3) He argues that any successful attempt to avert societal collapse will require what in ecological economics is referred to as 'degrowth'."
