The economy says we should consume more: even the slightest cut in spending leads to mass unemployment and bankruptcy. The planet says we're consuming too much: America is burning up the Earth's resources five times faster than it can recover. And despite efforts to green our consumption through recycling, energy efficiency, or solar power, we are yet to see a reduction in global carbon emissions. Exploring this paradox, renowned journalist J. B. McKinnon decided to think about a hypothetical situation in which humanity one day stops making unnecessary purchases. He traveled the world looking for examples, from the big stores in America to the hunter-gatherer cultures of Namibia and communities in Ecuador that consume just the right amount. And then the thought experiment became a shocking reality: the coronavirus brought shopping to a halt, and McKinnon's ideas were put to the test. Drawing on experts in fields ranging from climate change to economics, the author explores how living less costly will change the planet, society, and ourselves.
