Degrowth visions promise such worlds, but a central problem remains how to understand degrowth as it exists now. Here we offer some ways to ground degrowth political theorizing

I want to share a short reflection I recently published on a question I keep hearing: “What’s wrong with degrowth?” My answer: “Nothing.” Thank you to my friends at @degrowthinfo.bsky.social for publishing! Read it here: degrowth.info/en/blog/what...
degrowth.info
What’s wrong with degrowth? Nothing.
Giorgos Kallis contests recent interventions which lament the current direction of degrowth and its strategies, arguing instead for a community of pluralist yet tense alliances.
