We live in a world run by profiteers: the rush to make money destroys people and planet with equal disregard. How would the world look if all businesses existed to promote wellbeing in all its forms?

We call them "advanced economies"... But there is nothing advanced about propping up a class of overconsuming elites. There is nothing advanced about exploiting the labour and resources of poorer countries. There is nothing advanced about shredding the planet's biosphere.

"Property rights have a tight relationship with growth" says Eric Kemp-Benedict @SEIresearch. Money becomes one of many means to satisfy needs in a #postgrowth economy; money cannot meet all needs (e.g., affection) says @Hintojen. #SustainabilityFrontiers /26

Recent economic growth has made rich richer, while failing to lift poor out of poverty; as economy grows, envt impacts continue to worsen, says @Hintojen. #postgrowth sustainability: don't assume more GDP improves wellbeing. Measure what matters #SustainabilityFrontiers /24

“Put simply, the objective of degrowth is to ensure that life is at the center of our economic system.”

The degrowth movement is seeking to directly challenge a central plank of global economic policy — that more is always better. Instead, to avoid future crises, advocates of degrowth say it is time to embrace a model that prioritizes social and ecological wellbeing.
