From the Book - First edition.
Prologue : we must stop shopping but we can't stop shopping
First days. What we give up and what we hang on to ; We don't shop equally, so we won't stop equally ; It's not that time turns weird, it's a different kind of time ; Suddenly we're winning the fight against climate change ; We need to get used to the night again
Collapse. The end of growth is not the end of economics ; The consumption disaster begins, the disaster of everyday life is over ; Can advertising turn into the opposite of itself? ; We adapt to not-shopping more quickly than you think ; We may need to see the ruins to know it's time to build something new
Adaptation. A stronger, not a weaker, attachment to our things ; Fast fashion cannot rule but it may have to die ; Business plays the long, long, long, long game ; If we are no longer consumers, what are we instead? ; We are still consuming way too much (part one : inconspicuous consumption) ; We are still consuming way too much (part two : money)
Transformation. We finally actually save the whales ; We need a better word than happiness for where this ends up ; Now we're all shopping in cyberspace? ; It's like a world with fewer people but without losing the people ; One hundred and fifty thousand years later
Epilogue : there's a better way to stop shopping.
