Going Underground Hosted by Afshin RattansiA Liberated Palestine Means the End of US Control Over the Middle East! (Prof. Jason Hickel)On this episode of Going Underground, we speak to Prof. Jason Hickel, Co-Creator of the Global Inequality Project. He discusses the US’ historical and contemporary real motivations for supporting Israel to crush Arab national liberation movements and protect Western economic interests, the Gaza genocide being a mask-off moment for Western liberalism, the global apartheid of international law only applying to the global majority and not the West, the destruction of Gaza’s environment and the silence of the environmental lobbies and NGOs, the challenges the grassroots environmental movement faces, the need to rebuild institutions such as the UN Security Coun...

Spirituality: The Living Library of SpiritEpisode 98 – Less is More: Jason Hickel and the Spirituality of DegrowthThis episode presents a radical and urgent challenge to one of the most deeply ingrained assumptions of modern society: the unquestioned pursuit of endless economic growth. Through the lens of anthropologist Jason Hickel's provocative book, "Less Is More: How Degrowth Will Save the World," the discussion reframes the concept of "degrowth" not as a grim austerity measure, but as a profound and necessary spiritual path. Hickel argues that our relentless obsession with ever-increasing GDP is not only destroying our planet but is also fundamentally at odds with genuine human well-being. The episode unpacks this powerful critique, revealing how the...

Return to BandungImperialism and Global Inequality with Jason HickelIn this episode, I’m joined by economic anthropologist Jason Hickel, author of The Divide: Global Inequality from Conquest to Free Markets (W.W. Norton, 2018), to discuss the complex and interconnected relationship between imperialism—both past and present—and global economic inequality. We examine why mainstream liberal frameworks for understanding the divide between rich and poor countries inevitably fall short, instead presenting an alternative account of global inequality that centers the crucial role of colonial plunder (as well as unequal exchange in the supposedly ‘postcolonial’ era) in keeping vast swaths of the world trapped in conditions of poverty, underdevelopment, and econom...

The rest of us are watching this process unfold before our very eyes—also terrified, but seemingly powerless. It's a weird time to be alive. But when has it ever not been?

The study quantifies this unequal exchange, revealing that the North benefited from 826 billion hours of embodied labour in 2021 alone. Hickel, Hanbury Lemos & Barbour highlight the role of significant wage disparities and their persistence across various sectors and skill levels. The paper concludes that this pattern exacerbates global poverty, underdevelopment, and inequality. Tune in to learn about the implications of this unequal exchange and the necessity...

民主有事嗎？盧倩儀的去主流讀報站 #29 從生態到戰爭，「去成長」是唯一生路《少即是多》一書作者Jason Hickel近日指出： 生態危機總是沿著殖民路徑線路，因為生態危機本身其實就是殖民掠奪的過程。 他認為根本的問題是我們沒有經濟民主， 無權決定該生產什麼、生產多少、生產出來的東西該為誰帶來利益。 缺了這樣的經濟民主，政治民主並無法將我們帶上一條生路。 大資本當然絕對不要國家或人民擁有經濟主權。 500年來，每當大資本遇上反抗力量，就是使用暴力血腥鎮壓。 現在的巴勒斯坦就是最近的例子， 那之前是利比亞、再之前是伊拉克、再之前是智利、再之前是印尼、再之前是剛果， 永遠不止歇。 參考資料： l Jason Hickel：《少即是多》 l Jason Hickel：〈為什麼巴勒斯坦的解放威脅全球資本主義〉 l 氣候專家：地球「生命徵象」不佳，人類社會面臨崩解危機 l 大自然的求救訊號：地球生命力報告揭野生動物族群規模 50年銳減73% 留言告訴我你對這一集的想法： https://open.firstory.me/user/clnt1d9e3017q01wq2o4b2dco/comments 感謝您的收聽！ 感謝您與我們一同探索 "民主有事嗎？"。 我們希望您在這一集中獲得了深思熟慮的見解和新的知識。 如果您喜歡我們的節目，請訂閱👍🏻、分享🔝和留下評論✉️， 這對我們非常重要，因為它將有助於更多人了解我們的內容。 我們的目標是啟發、教育和引發對社會議題的深度討論。 如果您有任何建議、意見或想要討論的主題，請隨時與我們聯絡。 謝謝您成為 "民主有事嗎？" 的一部分，我們期待著在下一集再次與您相聚。 Powered by Firstory Hosting

Gerne heisst es: Die ehemaligen Kolonialstaaten auf der südlichen Halbkugel sind heute «unabhängig». Doch das ist eine sehr schmale Definition von Unabhängigkeit. Die Praktiken der internationalen Finanz- und Steuerpolitik etwa limitieren die Möglichkeiten vieler dieser Staaten seit den 1950er-Jahren massiv. Unser Gast arbeitet für das Kompetenzzentrum Alli- ance Sud und spricht im Podcast über die Geschichte, die Gegenwart und die mögliche Zukunft dieser Finanzpolitik.

UpstreamBetter Lives for All w/ Jason HickelWe're often told that it would be unfeasible for everyone on the planet to live good lives—that if there wasn't some degree of poverty—or at least lower living standards—in the rest of the world, then we'd blow right through the ecological limits of the planet. Even if it's not said explicitly, the argument is that some people need to be poor in order for us in the Global North to live good lives. There's a lot wrong with this assumption on a lot of different levels, but most importantly—it's empirically inaccurate. It is possible...

The Modern Maze#6: The Birth of Capitalism Part 2 - Colonisation and the Paradox of Artificial ScarcityIn this episode, we continue our exploration into the origins of capitalism. Following the enclosures of Europe, the next chapter of this story follows the Age of Discovery, as Europeans took to the seas in search of resources, wealth and new trading routes. When Europeans started to colonise the Americas after 1492, they were not driven by the romance of 'exploration', 'discovery' and 'adventure' as our schoolbooks tell us.Guided by Dr. Jason Hickel's book 'Less is More', we will trace how colonisation wasn't merely an expansion of territories but a fundamental reshaping of global economies and...

Upstream[UNLOCKED] How the North Plunders the South w/ Jason HickelThe imperial core—which is comprised of settler-colonial states like those in Western Europe, as well as states like the United States, Canada and Australia—have been stealing the resources and labor of the Global South—or the periphery—for centuries. It started with the direct colonial violence and resource exploitation that marked much of the last few centuries, but it didn't end there. Neo-colonialism—a term that you're probably familiar with—is broadly defined as the use of economic, political, cultural, or other pressures to control or influence other countries, especially former colonies. But what does it actually...

Carpe What? Der Sinn-PodcastWer den Pfennig nicht ehrt: Sparen, Sparen, Sparen? #4In Zeiten von Energiekrise, Inflation und Klimakatastrophe ist es DAS Thema der Stunde: Sparsamkeit. Ein alter Spruch sagt: "Wer den Pfennig nicht ehrt, ist des Talers nicht wert." Macht das Sinn oder kann das weg?Ab (01:20) sprechen wir über den wohl größten Sparfuchs: Dagobert Duck – und darüber, dass Sparen ein Privileg ist. Ab (04:40) fragen wir Menschen bei einer Straßenumfrage: Worauf spart ihr gerade?

Langsomme samtalerJason Hickel: Midt i en økologisk undtagelsestilstand er det sindssygt at ville have mere vækstDet er egentlig ikke så svært at løse klimakrisen, forklarer den økonomiske antropolog Jason Hickel: Vi skal frigøre vores økonomi fra fossile brændstoffer og erstatte dem med vedvarende energi. Og så skal vi tage af konsekvensen det, de seneste fyrre år har lært os: Hvis målet for vores samfund er fortsat økonomisk vækst, vil vi blive ved med at forstærke klimaforandringer.
Men det er blevet svært for os, fordi vi ifølge Hickel ikke vil tage det fundamentale opgør med vækst.

ESG: Even Samen Gevat#3 - Less is more: hoe degrowth de wereld gaat redden en ons welzijn verbeterenWe bespreken het boek “Less is more” van Jason Hickel, een vurig pleidooi voor ontgroei-ing. Hickel keert alles wat ons is verteld over groei, kapitalisme en ontwikkeling binnenstebuiten en biedt in plaats daarvan een radicale visie op een toekomst zonder groei. Over de illusie van schone energie, de afbouw van destructieve industrieën, de sectoren die er echt toe doen en de relatie tussen BBP en welzijn.

Macro N CheesePlease Look Up with Jason HickelNear the start of this episode, Jason Hickel raises Noam Chomsky’s position that the urgency of the climate crisis is so dire it will have to be dealt with under capitalism. There isn’t time to transition to socialism. Hickel disagrees. Capitalism is incapable of handling the problem.Hickel, an economic anthropologist, begins the interview pointing out the mistaken notion that we have no climate policy, no action, when in fact this is exactly what climate policy action under capitalism looks like: systematic denial and nonstop investment in fossil fuel expansion. It is not due to igno...

Wohlstand für AlleEp. 155: Ist weniger Wachstum mehr? Jason Hickels Degrowth-KonzeptWohlstand für Alle
Das Bruttoinlandsprodukt ist noch immer der wichtigste Indikator, mit denen Länder ihre Wirtschaftsleistung ausdrücken. Jedoch sollte man das BIP keinesfalls mit der Lebensqualität oder dem allgemeinen Wohlstand verwechseln. Ein Land kann ein sehr hohes BIP haben, wie zum Beispiel die Vereinigten Staaten, dennoch kann die Lebensqualität niedrig sein.
Viel Geld fließt dann in das Gesundheitssystem oder in Mieten, weil sich der Staat aus diesen Märkten zurückgezogen hat. Darauf macht der Degrowth-Theoretiker Jason Hickel aufmerksam, denn seine These lautet: Mit einem Pro-Kopf-Einkommen von 10.000 Dollar pro Jahr könnten wir ein zufrieden...

Der oekom podcast - Die guten Seiten der Zukunft"Weniger ist mehr. Warum der Kapitalismus den Planeten zerstört und wir ohne Wachstum glücklicher sind" [Jason Hickel]Ein Essay von Jason Hickel
Wenn wir die Krisen unserer Zeit überleben wollen, müssen wir uns vom Kapitalismus befreien. Davon ist der bekannte britische Wirtschaftsanthropologe Jason Hickel überzeugt. Denn statt Wohlstand für alle hat unsere Art zu wirtschaften ein Leben voll künstlicher Verknappung, sozialer Ungerechtigkeit und massiver Umweltzerstörung hervorgebracht. Die Alternativen liegen dabei weder im Kommunismus noch im radikalen Verzicht. Ziel ist eine Wirtschaft, die zum Wohle aller agiert und unsere Lebensgrundlagen bewahrt. Hickels neustes Buch, das diesem Podcast zugrunde liegt, wurde von der Financial Times zum Buch des Jahres gewählt.

UpstreamHow Degrowth Will Save the World with Jason HickelIt may not come as a surprise to most of you to hear that capitalism is the root cause of climate change. But if we unpack this a little bit, we see that it's a specific component of capitalism that's mostly responsible: the need for exponential and perpetual expansion. Growth isn't just a byproduct of capitalism, it's an imperative — an imperative to which we are all hostage. That's why, according to our guest in this week's Conversation, unless the climate movement centers degrowth in its strategies and policy proposals, nothing will fundamentally change. Jason Hickel is an economic anthropologist, Pr...

Wild with Sarah WilsonJASON HICKEL: Degrowth economics! It’s wild, it could save us…Economic anthropologist Jason Hickel is possibly the leading voice in the degrowth movement that's bubbling about the place. Heard of it? Degrowth pivots around the wild idea that constant growth - and GDP - is the wrong goal. Instead, human, and planetary wellbeing should be our marker of progress. You know, if we want to survive. I drill Jason on the implications: the necessary end of capitalism, four-day work weeks, accepting renewable growth can't save us (eek!), the uncomfortable truth that our unchecked obsession with “more" is killing the poor (despite what Bill Gates will try telling you). Basically, al...

Det skyldes blant annet mye ny forskning på kapitalismens ødeleggende konsekvenser, og på mulige alternativer. Et begrep som blir stadig mer brukt, er "degrowth", eller "motvekst": En planmessig nedskalering av unødvendig og destruktiv økonomisk aktivitet, til fordel for sterkere satsing på allmenne goder som helse, utdanning og bærekraftig mobilitet.Dr. Jason Hickel er antropolog og økologisk økonom, og er sterkt engasjert i den internasjonale debatten omkring motvekst.
