For several decades Ted Trainer has been developing and refining an important theory of societal change, which he calls The Simpler Way (1985, 1995, 2010a). His essential premise is that overconsumption in the most developed regions of the world is the root cause of the global predicament, and upon this premise he argues that a necessary part of any transition to a sustainable and just world involves an adoption of materially far 'simpler' lifestyles by the over-consumers. This paper outlines and presents a sympathetic critique of Trainer's complex position (2010a, 2010b, 2011, 2012b), a position that can be understood to merge and build upon various strains of socialist and anarchist thinking (e.g., Morris 2004; Gorz 1994; Bookchin 1990).
