   #degrowth people, has anyone read "Slow Down: The Degrowth Manifesto" by Kohei Saito?

   Worth the read? Does it add much new for someone who's already familiar with most existing degrowth literature?

     @Brendanjones Curious to hear opinion on this. So far the only book on degrowth that I read is "Degrowth in the Suburbs"

     @stfn I haven’t actually got to that one yet, what did you think?

     If you care to read more I’d highly recommend Less Is More by Jason Hickel, or for a real deep dive go for The Future Is Degrowth.

     @Brendanjones I think it's a great book, very thorough and with reasonable argumentation. I highly recommend it. Thanks for the suggestions, I will for sure check them out.
