One year ago, we published The Future is Degrowth – with @a_vansi and Andrea Vetter @versobooks.

The reactions were overwhelming. So many reviews, enthusiastic and critical comments, reading groups, audiobook, translations in the making… Thank you so much. 🧵 on some reactions.

I’m at the Full Monty TV series premiere in Sheffield. The writers ⁦@alicenut1⁩ and Simon Beaufoy can’t go in as they’re taking part in the #WGAStrike so they’re raising awareness of the strike outside. Solidarity!

I should add that some areas in Pakistan are actually suffering even higher temperatures than India. The dangers of wet bulb temperatures are going to be a major issue of concern in the coming decades for this region.

@ytnessisdeath Loved it! Big fans of @OrangoQuango’s work!

@ytnessisdeath @GrizzlebeesSea There’s a great episode of the @SpadeworkPod where they interview the author that helps explore some of the ideas too! https://t.co/h8UIHRo4OJ

Here is Prof. Jason Hickel debunking green growth in front of the Dutch Parliament.

"Decarbonization with growth is like trying to run down an escalator that is accelerating upwards."

[CommonEcologies @commonecologies.bsky.social @CommonEcologies]

A key question for our time: What is ecological syndicalism?

Once this important text comes out, we'll have either an event or course on that question in Common Ecologies.

Watch this space!

Stuart Hall, born on this day in 1932, is widely regarded as the founding father of cultural studies. He was a fierce advocate of a Marxism “without guarantees” and one of the first to identify and critically interrogate the rise of neoliberal capitalism.

[Matthias Schmelzer @MGSchmelzer]

I'm reading @koheisaito0131's Marx in the Anthropocene. It's a fascinating book, highly recommended. A Capital for the 21st century.
