A group of academics and activists are questioning the possibility of endless economic growth on a finite planet and are advocating for a bold solution: degrowth.
Originating in France, the degrowth movement has spread to places like Japan, the UK and Barcelona, taking root in academia, grassroots organisations and among university students.
The movement argues for a ‘democratisation of the economy’ and for collectively managing key resources, like housing.
Critics argue that opposing economic growth is impractical and warn of negative consequences, especially for the most vulnerable.
We take a look at the theory – and ask what the practice might look like.
