Slowdown: the end of the great acceleration—and why it's good for the planet, the economy, and our lives by Dorling, D

“…In this powerful and timely argument, Danny Dorling demonstrates the benefits of a larger, ongoing societal slowdown <br> Drawing from an incredibly rich trove of global data, this groundbreaking book reveals that human progress has been slowing down since the early 1970s.
