Praise for In defense of degrowth

“I’m thrilled that Giorgos Kallis, one of the world's foremost thinkers on degrowth, is making this essay collection available for free. Whatever your level of familiarity with the subject, the book’s mix of engaging commentary, bold analysis, and creative policy tools is certain to deepen your thinking.” — Naomi Klein, author of This Changes Everything and The Shock Doctrine

“In defense of degrowth … shows why its author, and the Barcelona group to which he belongs, have become the indisputable world leaders in the vital project of crafting novel economic imaginaries and feasible frameworks for an age where, literally, everything has to change.” — Arturo Escobar, Professor of Anthropology, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill. Author of Encountering Development: The Making and Unmaking of the Third World and Feel-thinking with the Earth. See the full review by Arturo Escobar here.

“[Kallis'] lived experiences in Greece, Catalonia in Spain, California and London... have brought out an outpouring of blog entries, newspaper articles, book reviews and lectures in many universities in Northern Europe and the United States...

They certainly deserved to be collected and edited as a book.” — Joan Martinez-Alier, Professor Emeritus of Economics and Economic History at the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, author of The Environmentalism of the Poor: A Study of Ecological Conflicts and Valuation See the full review by Joan Martinez-Alier here.
