Seven reasons why degrowth is no solution to the ecological crisis

Illuminem Voices
Degrowth · Environmental Sustainability
The degrowth movement is calling for an end to economic growth, as measured by GDP, and shrinkage of the economies of developed countries. Developing countries should use this space in world GDP created by the contraction of developed economies to develop - freed from the unequal and exploitative restrictions imposed by global capitalism. Degrowth advocates do not believe in green growth, the compatibility of continued GDP growth within planetary boundaries, or that technological solutions exist. Degrowthers diagnose a real problem. Unfortunately, the downsizing of western economies is not a solution. At least seven reasons can be highlighted why degrowth is insufficient.
