Part 2 of my convo with Dean Dettloff and Matt Bernico of the Magnificast podcast, digging into the forensic heart of their great new book, Enough is Enough: Degrowth, Capitalism, and Liberation Theology.

We work through Walter Benjamin's fragmentary essay on capitalism as religion, the liberation theology critique of GDP as a modern idol, what degrowth actually looks like in practice, and the difference between retreat and cooperation. We close with an urgent question: would the Berrigan brothers be sabotaging data centers today?
