There's a Hole in My Sock : Shrink the Economy Now!Nilsson, Jonathan January 2020 (has links)
This project is a book which facilitates thinking about the ongoing climate crisis from a Degrowth perspective. Methods are to the greater part reading literature, watching interviews and also to a lesser extent conducting a survey, contacting a researcher and holding a workshop. The key visual tools that are used in this book are typography, infographics, illustration, layout and bookbinding. Firstly, the connection between personal experience and global warming is illustrated. Secondly, based on the severity and scope of the crisis, it is argued that radical societal change is required. Thirdly, the solution approach of shrinking the economy is investigated and suggested. Importantly, some key dynamics of capitalism are deconstructed, such as the accumulation of wealth and power, the exploitation of the global South, the disconnect of money and social value, the misconception of work and finally how these lead to disastrous greenhouse gas emissions as well. Essentially, shrinking the economy is identified as an absolute necessity to supporting and indeed extending human well-being to all.
