I really truly fail to understand what self-care has to do with economics writ large. But I do get the sense this is one of those ivory-tower books like the kind that show up in the US every so often saying stuff like, let's ban private automobiles and build a nationwide transportation network instead? Yeah, bud, let's do that. Put down your laptop and grab a shovel.

Justin, it's just a text that poses as radical thinking and pretends to apply critical self-reflection, but it actually only delves into pseudo solutions that fail to acknowledge the scope of the green transformation. It must be very cozy to actually think that if you just ban some behaviors, it will save our climate - while sitting at a laptop build with rare materials from the other end of the world, in a house probably constructed with cement (the worst building material for the climate) and heated with gas (just a guess). To still think you're not part of the problem because you don't own an SUV is, at best, naive.

Thanks, Linda! I wish people would stop instrumentalizing real problems for their attention-seeking agendas.

I can't believe how many people uncritically applaud this nonsense on a platform for people who read. Beats me.
Als selbstentlarvendes Negativbeispiel müsste man diesen Werken ja eigentlich 5 Sterne geben - siehe Strobl

Mich macht es fertig, wie viele Leute auf diesen halbgaren Blödsinn reinfallen!
