Degrowth in business: An oxymoron or a viable business model for sustainability?

By: Yaryna Khmara, Jakub Kronenber

Based on a review of literature connecting degrowth and business, we attempt to operationalize degrowth in the context of business activity, and consider what degrowth can add to the business models for sustainability discussed so far. In most discussions on degrowth, economic activity has been reduced to relatively marginal activities. We see a need to connect degrowth to more typical business...

Faire l'économie de la haine. Essais sur la censure

By: Alain Deneault

Point de haine de l’économie là où on nous fait aimer l’argent, à tout prix. Point de haine de l’économie, mais une économie de la haine. Le programme: faire l’économie de la haine. Haïr sans qu’il n’y paraisse. Ainsi s’investit-on dans l’asservissement à l’argent.

By: Oliver Richters, Andreas Siemoneit

Is fostering economic growth ‘only’ a question of political will or ‘unavoidable’ to maintain economic stability?
