A Financial Times Book of the Year
______________________________________
Our planet is in trouble. But how can we reverse the current crisis and create a sustainable future? The answer is: DEGROWTH.
Less is More is the wake-up call we need. By shining a light on ecological breakdown and the system that's causing it, Hickel shows how we can bring our economy back into balance with the living world and build a thriving society for all. This is our chance to change course, but we must act now.

Die Wirtschaft bremsen, das war das Thema dieses Jahres. In der Umwelt- und Klimadebatte wird das Thema auch in den kommenden Jahren erhalten bleiben: Muss man das Wirtschaftswachstum verlangsamen oder nicht? Diese zwei Bücher decken beide Seiten der Debatte ab.
Andrew McAfee ist bekannt für seinen früheren Bestseller über "Das zweite Maschinenzeitalter". Jetzt bewundert er, wie die Welt trotz Wachstums mit immer weniger Ressourceneinsatz auskommt. In diesem Jahr ist das Buch auf Deutsch erschienen. Der amerikanische Ingenieur und Wirtschaftswissenschaftler rechnet darin vor: Egal ob Stahl, Papier, Zement oder elektrischer Strom - die Bürger der entwickelten Staaten verbrauchen inzwischen immer weniger davon, obwohl die Wirtschaft weiter wächst. So geht es mit vielen Rohprodukten. McAfee berücksichtigt auch, dass die reichen Staaten viele ihrer Ressourcen aus anderen Ländern importieren. Am generellen Trend ändert das nichts. McAfee findet nicht, dass die Welt in Ordnung ist. Aber er sagt: Um sie zu verbessern, muss die Menschheit ihre bewährten Erfolgswerkzeuge besser nutzen. Das sind technischer Fortschritt und Kapitalismus - aber auch eine kritische Öffentlichkeit und reaktionsfähige Regierungen. Diese vier Bedingungen müssen erfüllt sein, damit es den Menschen und der Umwelt gutgehen kann. Wenn es so läuft, wird die Welt immer besser.
Der britische Anthropologe Jason Hickel ist dagegen ein Wortführer der "Degrowth"-Bewegung. Seine Forderung: Die reichen Industrieländer müssen lernen, rasch mit weniger Wirtschaftskraft zu leben, damit der Ressourcenverbrauch sinken kann. Denn die Welt habe beim Klimaschutz nicht mehr genug Zeit, um darauf zu setzen, dass der technische Fortschritt irgendwann für klimaneutrales Wachstum sorgt. Interessant ist, was Hickel nicht fordert: Er will nicht die Marktwirtschaft und profitorientierte Unternehmen abschaffen, und er will das Wirtschaftswachstum auch nicht generell verbieten. Vielmehr müsse der verbliebene Rest des globalen CO2-Emissionsbudgets für das Wachstum der armen Länder reserviert werden, die es am dringendsten brauchen. In den reichen Staaten dagegen schade Wachstum heute mehr, als es nutze. Die wirklich wichtigen Dinge, etwa eine hohe Lebenserwartung und ein gutes Bildungssystem, ließen sich auch mit viel weniger Wirtschaftskraft erreichen.
