Opening remarks at Doha Debates’ Capitalism debate by Jason Hickel.

Jason Hickel sees continued economic growth as a path to our downfall, pointing to ecological degradation and climate breakdown. The solution, he argues, lies in a post-capitalist economic system that focuses on scaling back industrial production and energy use instead of mindless, exponential growth. Jason is an anthropologist and author focusing on global inequality.
