Reviews
""The pluriverse of degrowth is beautifully synthesized in this book. A must-have."" Kohei Saito, Professor of Philosophy, University of Tokyo, author of bestseller Down: How Degrowth Communism Can Save the Earth (2024) ""We stand at a crossroads. Or to be honest, a little farther, on the path to chaos. But we still have choice. Embracing strategy and practice, this handbook on degrowth comes just in time to open horizons. I can’t wait for it to be translated into French!"" Corinne Morel Darleux, essayist – Être heureux avec moins (2023) ""The Routledge Handbook of Degrowth is an essential and inspiring resource for anyone seeking to understand the history, diversity, and transformative potential of the degrowth movement. Anitra Nelson and Vincent Liegey have assembled a groundbreaking collection that will guide researchers, activists, and policymakers alike."" Giorgos Kallis, ICREA professor at ICTA, Autonomous University of Barcelona, author of degrowth classics, such as In Defence of Degrowth (2017) Degrowth (2018), Limits (2019) ""As glaciers are melting and Los Angeles is destroyed by raging fires, struggling for a world beyond capitalist development and growth has never been more urgent. The Routledge Handbook of Degrowth is a rich, enlightening, comprehensive guide towards it. Definitely a must read."" Silvia Federici, Hofstra University (New York), author of classic Caliban and the Witch (2004) ""The Routledge Handbook of Degrowth deftly diagnoses the disease of global growthism, and brims with a plenitude of inspiring living examples, challenges, complexities and possibilities for a future of convivial, relational joy that we know is possible."" Helena Norberg-Hodge, esteemed author, filmmaker and founding director of Local Futures
