Commons against and beyond capitalism

By: George Caffentzis, Silvia Federici

Essays on frugal abundance

By: Serge Latouche

Part of the introduction to part 1: The great Yale economist Irving Fisher (1867-1947) was said to have a parrot which he had trained to answer any question his students might ask with the words, ‘It’s the law of supply and demand.’ As I find myself facing the same old questions about degrowth over and over again in interviews and debates, I often wish I had such a partner.
