Life in a ‘Degrowth’ Economy: Envisioning a Prosperous Descent
What would daily life would be like in a ‘degrowth’ economy? That is, in an economy seeking planned contraction of energy and resource demands in order to achieve sustainability, equity, and social wellbeing.
In this presentation, I explore theses issues by seeking to envision what such a ‘prosperous descent’ might look like.
This is Part IV of the Ecological Civilisation series.
New presentations will be added to this playlist over time: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLGyDELJdHq36Pl6FtVu7V75OIF04SMW-5
The series is grappling with the problems of consumerism and the growth economy; envisioning alternative, post-carbon ways of life; and considering what action can be taken, both personally and politically, to help build an ecological civilisation.
