Es reicht! Abrechnung mit dem Wachstumswahn

By: Serge Latouche

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: 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...
