Vlad Bunea: After re-reading your book Slow Down or Die, The Economics of Degrowth, I felt emboldened to go out in the world and tell everyone that a better way to organize our economy is possible.
I'm exhausted by this relentless capitalist hustle culture and dream of the post-capitalist world you're describing. Honestly, I pray it comes soon.
Until then, I'm trying to do my part by writing and showing people that deconsumption can give them real freedom right now, even within this broken system. The way I see it, this isn't primarily about saving the planet - it's about saving ourselves from the psychological prison of endless wanting and working that capitalism has trapped us in.
