What is degrowth and what are its implications for political economy? Divided in three parts, this dissertation explores the why, what, and how of degrowth.
The first part (Of growth and limits) studies the nature, causes, and consequences of economic growth.
The second part (Elements of degrowth) is about the idea of degrowth, especially its history,theoretical foundations, and controversies.
The third part (Recipes for degrowth) is about the transition from a growth economy to a degrowth society. It opens with an inventory of the policies that have been mobilised by degrowthers until today.
The central claim of this final part is that degrowth is a powerful conceptual tool to think about societal transformations for social–ecological justice.
