In this book, Giorgos Kallis, one of the movement's leading thinkers, presents an accessible, inspiring, and enjoyable defense. The book's chapters--a compilation of his opinion essays, newspaper articles, blog posts, and 'minifestos'--range from topics such as eco-modernism, the history of economics, science fiction, the Greek crisis, and Hollywood films. The book also features debates and exchanges between Kallis and degrowth detractors. <em>In defense of degrowth</em> is intended as an introduction for the curious, a defense against the skeptics, and an intellectually stimulating conversation for those already convinced but willing to learn more.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p><em>"I'm thrilled that Giorgos Kallis, one of the world's foremost thinkers on degrowth, is making this essay collection available...
