If “degrowth” means “sustainable,” can we find a better word? Like “defund” (the police), it misleads.
Capitalism—and economies in general—have two paths: the extractive, exploitative path and the sustainable, mutually beneficial path. One is obviously better.
Regardless, I appreciate the original post. I can’t shake the feeling that we’re living in 1914 Europe, and the powers that be are not resisting the forces that are going to destroy them.
