Terry Leahy is a sociologist and a participant in the Australian Degrowth movement. His most recent book looks at the grassroots strategies popular in the permaculture movement: 'The Politics of Permaculture' (Pluto). He advocates a non monetary post-capitalism as the system that might best achieve the goals of the degrowth movement.
As a response to Jason Hickel's interview with the Break-Down Journal, the authors share their thoughts on degrowth as a concept and a movement, and the role it plays in a challenging political context.
