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.
