Der Verlag: Leise Töne sind seine Sache nicht, auch nicht im Alter von über 70 Jahren. Ex-Präsident Sarkozy verglich seine Antiwachstumsbewegung Décroissance schon einmal mit Terrorismus - zu Unrecht, denn gewaltsame Veränderungen sind Serge Latouche fremd. Was er hingegen liebt, ist die wortstarke Provokation, und so fordert er nichts anderes als eine radikale Absage an die "Religion der Ökon...

By: Max Liboiron, Josh Lepawsky

About the article: Lepwasky and Liboiron instigated this special Forum collection because of a need to bring three relatively new scholarly discussions together: degrowth, diverse economies, and discard studies. They offer an overview of terms and discussions, then make an argument for why the three discourses need one another. On one hand, organizing economic life so it is not premised on prof...

Der Verlag: Das zentrale Problem der Menschheit heute ist der Substanzverzehr, seine Ursache die Fixierung der Politik auf Wirtschaftswachstum. Die Lösung liegt im Gegenteil der Wachstumspolitik, in der Politik der Nachhaltigen Entwicklung. Diese Politik lässt die nachhaltigere Produktion in den Grenzen des Substanzerhalts wachsen und die weniger nachhaltige schrumpfen. Sie wird erst gelingen, ...

By: Dir. Agnès Sinaï

La croissance et le productivisme, véritables socles de nos sociétés industrielles, nous entraînent dans une consommation effrénée d'espace et de ressources et mettent la planète sur une orbite périlleuse. Les théories économiques, qui ont alimenté ce déni de la finitude des ressources, dérivent aujourd'hui vers de nouveaux mirages tels que la monétarisation des écosystèmes ou la croissance ...

The publisher: Decades of research and discussion have shown that the human population growth and our increased consumption of natural resources cannot continue – there are limits to growth. This volume demonstrates how we might modify and revise our economic systems using nature as a model. The book describes how nature uses three growth forms: biomass, information, and networks, resulting in...

By: Mathias Binswanger

Abstract: In Binswanger (2009) it was shown that in a simple circular flow model of a pure credit economy, positive growth rates are necessary in the long run in order to enable firms to make profits in the aggregate. If the growth rate falls below a certain positive threshold level, firms will make losses. Certain aspects of this model are challenged by the papers of Zsolt Gilányi and Reeves J...
