Back in November, the SRSLY Wrong podcast covered the book The Future is Degrowth, with an interview with one of its co-authors, Aaron Vansintjan. Degrowth as a term didn’t sit well with me initially, but talks like this one gave me a better understanding of how it can still fit within frameworks for human flourishing.
The ideology of infinite economic growth destroys the ecological foundations of human life, produces alienating ways of living and working, gives rise to undemocratic productive forces and techniques, and mismeasures our lives, standing in the way of well-being and equality of all.
