 -0404/\n\nJoin XR Boston's Book Club as we learn about degrowth\, an idea 
 and a movement that challenges global capitalism and its dependency on eco
 nomic growth. We are reading Less is More: How Degrowth Will Save the Worl
 d by Jason Hickel. In our next session\, we will informally discuss Chapte
 r 1: Capitalism - A Creation Story\, starting on page 39\, via Zoom.\n\nSi
 gn up below to receive the Zoom link prior to the session.\n\nFrom the aut
 hor:\n“The world has finally awoken to the reality of climate breakdown 
 and ecological collapse. Now we must face up to its primary cause. Capital
 ism demands perpetual expansion\, which is devastating the living world. T
 here is only one solution that will lead to meaningful and immediate chang
 e: degrowth.\n\nIf we want to have a shot at halting the crisis\, we need 
 to slow down and restore the balance. We need to change how we see nature 
 and our place in it\, shifting from a philosophy of domination and extract
 ion to one that’s rooted in reciprocity and regeneration. We need to evo
 lve beyond the dogmas of capitalism to a new system that’s fit for the t
 wenty-first century.\n\nBut what about jobs? What about health? What about
  progress? This book tackles these questions and offers an inspiring visio
 n for what a post-capitalist economy could look like. An economy that’s 
 more just\, more caring\, and more fun. An economy that will not only lift
  us out of our current crisis\, but also restore our sense of connection t
 o a world that's brimming with life. By taking less\, we can become more.
