Ecological Transition? Energy Transition? A great piece to know what we are really talking about, by ecosocialist philosopher Jorge Riechmann https://www.15-15-15.org/webzine/2023/09/11/ecological-transitions-and-energy-transitions/

For anyone in the #Degrowth or #postGrowth space I can’t recommend this read enough: https://kolektiva.social/@convivialmeans/110940884648109225

Hell, anyone interested in dealing with #climateChange or any of our ecological problems should read it.

Nish is going a step further than I’d ever considered. Not only is he saying that #capitalism can’t fix our ecological overshoot (yep, I hope everyone’s realised that), but that states of any sort cannot fix those problems either.

Surprised to see some fair coverage of #degrowth in Forbes.

Definitely not perfect; under the paragraph "Challengers to degrowth" they write "Nobel laureate Joseph Stiglitz raises an essential consideration: while sacrifices may be necessary, ensuring they're fairly distributed is crucial."

As if equality and decolonisation aren't central themes to degrowth.

Anyway, I'll take it. It's getting the term out there in the public consciousness.

I tend to avoid sharing collapse-related things because they often veer into doomerism, but this one is worth the read.

It does however hold back from identifying *why* "elites are choosing to perpetuate practices known to accelerate climate change and global devastation."

It's no good talking about #collapse without talking about #capitalism as a driving force. And for #postgrowth systems as a way out of it, especially #degrowth.

If profit is the only thing that matters, you get lobbyists, salesmen, industrial groups, companies, politicians which will defend ideas or products just because they’re profitable, regardless of how negatively they impact people, the environment, other species or the future generations.

Profit must stop being the maxim on which our society and values are based on.

Today I joined demo day of the Post-Growth Entrepreneurship Incubator. It is always interesting to learn about alternative business models for startups, and it was great to see the wide diversity in terms of products, regions and founders!

"A science of cities": re-reading Geoff West's "Scale", but this time with a post-growth, wellbeing economy angle. Urban living generates economy of scale: could we use them to achieve a good life at reduced material consumption, and how? My hunch is: public goods, all the way. A batheable river or lake in a city creates a lot of joy for a lot of people, as well as being part of a healthy environment.

@breadandcircuses the last paragraph sums up our current political and economic quagmire. In democracies, due to needing to get a majority of votes to govern, political parties do not 'lead' change, they follow popular interest. Currently, popular interest is driven by marketing in a system reliant on growth.

I see no other pathway out of our current trajectory than a framework respecting #PlanetaryBoundaries, which requires #PostGrowth approaches.
