Zijn nieuwe boek is geen wetenschappelijke gids om de Nederlandse cultuur en waarden te snappen en eigen te maken. Maar als je op zoek b...

On average, mankind uses 1.7 Earths each year for raw materials, food and energy. Many countries even more. Most green initiatives call for action, but do not address the over-consumption and its causes. This manifesto shows our true escape: stop doing, degrowth and help Mother Earth to regenerate.

In this book the old problem of the unfair distribution of wealth is again analyzed as to its root causes. Since money tends to be attracted by those who have more power then others to do so, too often resulting in a flagrantly unfair distribution of wealth where those who work hardest see the least of it, a solution is developed in which the freedom to trade and organize are protected or even enhanced while the power of everyone to be and remain free - their economic power - is equalized as ...
