Overall I'm convinced of the premise that capitalism is incompatible with long-term sustainability, but it got hard to read at times, focused way too much on Marx (I know he's a Marxist, but like... this is a lot of focus on one guy), and didn't cite any thinkers from the Global South that he claims to respect so highly. I'm also pretty sure no women were cited. This is a solid introduction to degrowth communism (as a non-expert), but it was lacking perspective. Hopefully a more diverse body of literature grows from here.

Clear well researched laying out of his points. Honestly excellent, and a great read, especially for anyone interested in strategies for tackling climate change and inequality.
