Degrowth – The Myth of Ever Expanding Growth Has Met Its Limits. Is Degrowth the Answer?

Jul 6, 2022

We talk with Timothee Parrique, doctor in economics and researcher at Lund University. We discuss degrowth, what it is, what it isn’t and how our obsession with GDP and growth are flawed measures of progress. We talk about why “green growth” is not the answer to the climate and biodiversity challenges we face and what a world that has embraced degrowth would look like. We end with a great list of resources for those looking to explore the topic further. You can find more resources at; https://timotheeparrique.com/
