Kate Soper and Lynne Segal discuss the unsustainable obsession with economic growth and consider what it might look like if we all worked less.
According to Lynne Segal, a core of Kate Soper's work "is to argue for alternative hedonism. Alternative hedonism is not only going to help us create sustainable consumption, create a better possible future, but also, in the process, it is actually going to bring us greater pleasure, give us more time, enable us to slow down and enjoy life more."
Lynne Segal's work makes clear the connections between care-work and political optimism.
Boston Review and The Philosopher recently brought them together to share their ideas.
