Hey @domschott.bsky.social und @gamespodcast.bsky.social - spannende Diskussionen im aktuellen Mailbag! Zum Thema „Alternativen zum Kapitalismus“ und der Frage „Muss eigentlich alles auf Wachstum hinauslaufen?“ finde ich @koheisaito.bsky.social total spannend: www.dtv.de/buch/systems...
Systemsturz von Kohei Saito - Hardcover Bd.0 | dtv Verlag
Der Kapitalismus ist nicht zukunftsfähig. Wenn wir glauben, die Welt durch nachhaltigen Konsum vor der Klimakatastrophe zu retten, betrügen wir uns selbst, sagt der japanische Philosoph Kohei Saito.

Essential reading for those who are not scared to take a fresh look at seemingly familiar things. The #commons are one important way forward as the planetary crisis accelerates & cascades. Community resilience is the key to perpetual adaptation.

Slow Down by @koheisaito.bsky.social is a valuable perspective this all going forward, though at the time of writing he anticipated we may have time before reaching 2º warming, if it's a lost cause it changes only the approach and not the goal. The goal is to mitigate harm and support each other.

Hab mir letztens in Tokyo ein (gebrauchtes) Buch von @koheisaito.bsky.social gekauft und siehe da, es war doch tatsächlich signiert :D

Zum Buch selbst: Es gibt (noch?) keine deutsche Uebersetzung und es ist vll sein am wenigsten hardcore-theoretisches Werk.

Die Ablehnung von Wachstum galt lange als Idee der Linken. Nun hat die MAGA-Bewegung sie für sich entdeckt. Trumps ökonomische Schockpolitik könnte zu einer neuen Art besseren Wirtschaftens führen.
