Worktime Reduction and Rebound Effects

By: Johannes Buhl

Abstract: Worktime reduction is considered to be essential when it comes to theories and models of de-growing economies. So far, productivity gains are re-invested in favor of economic growth. Consequently, rising opportunity costs of time per growing national income lead to time rebound effects, since time savings become as precious as economic life speeds up. This comes with resource intensiv...

By: aboutsource

Eine Grundüberzeugung des Postwachstumskollegs besteht darin, dass die Überwindung der blindlaufenden Steigerungszwänge moderner, kapitalistischer Gesellschaften einer komplexen, simultanen und mehrdimensionalen Transformation (oder Revolution) bedarf, die ökonomische, politische und kulturelle Veränderungen zugleich impliziert.

WELL-BEING AS A SOCIAL MUST. BUT IS WELL-BEING HEALTHY?

By: Francesca Gardiol

Abstract: Today the frantic search for well-being seems to be a social must: living well has become the new imperative, sadness, anger, anxiety, are feelings to be deleted. Subjective well-being is actually a normative construct, that is the product of the values and core principles in a culture. In the consumer society the most important aim is a "happy life"; the necessary condition for being...

Educationism, may facilitate the understanding of the Degrowth proposal.

By: Cristovam Buarque, João Luís Homem de Carvalho

Abstract: The end of the 20th century showed the failure of ideologies. The ideologies of industrial civilization - capitalism, socialism and developmentalism - became prisoners of production and of income distribution, plundering the environment and offering, without delivering, accessible consumption to the masses. The failure of industrial-civilization utopia suggested that the very sense of...

Technology Beyond Growth: The Role of Technology in the Postgrowth Economy

Time use in an Alternative Degrowth Society

By: Wolfgang Fellner

Abstract: A time use perspective in economics has to recognise that time is more than an input to commodities, produced by households. Time is not money! If anything, time is life.
