Translated from the Japanese.
Preface to the English edition -- Introduction: The Green New Deal is the Opiate of the Masses! -- Climate Change and the Imperial Way of living -- The Limit of Green Keynesianism -- Shooting for Degrowth under Capitalism -- Marx in the Anthropocene -- The Wishful Thinking Known as Accelerationism -- Capitalism of Scarcity, Communism of Abundance -- Degrowth Communism Will Save the World -- The "Lever" of Climate Justice -- Epilogue: Not the "end of the story".
"In SLOW DOWN, Kohei Saito delivers a bold and urgent call for a return to Marxism in order to stop climate change. Here he argues that by returning to a system of social ownership, we can restore abundance and focus on those activities that are essential for human life, effectively reversing climate change and saving the planet"-- Provided by publisher.
