Is degrowth possible under capitalism?
(slrpnk.net)
Discussions about degrowth and all sorts of related topics. This includes UBI, economic democracy, the economics of green technologies, enviromental legislation and many more intressting economic topics.
I don't thinks it's impossible. There is some evidence suggesting that happiness and prosperity stops at a certain level of growth, and a continuation of growth yields diminishing returns.
GDP based economy is both a really strange way of measuring value and even it's inventor spoke out against using it as a measurement.
There are some nations that are trying alternative models of measurement, such as the BLI model.
