Examples

“Degrowthers insist that we must find⟳ ways of living and working that do not require⟳ our economies to endlessly expand⟳.”

“In the view⟳ of degrowthers, humanity simply does not have⟳ the capacity to phase out fossil fuels and meet⟳ the ever-growing demand⟳ of rich economies.”

“Its reliance on anecdotes and inspirational stories invites the unflattering assessment of the book as a kind of ‘chicken-soup for the degrowther’s soul’ rather than a serious analysis of how degrowth would actually work⟳ in terms of major shifts in the economic system.”

““I am not a degrowther. I think⟳ things can be greater than they have⟳ been and [that improvement]^([sic]) will come⟳ through abundance. Improvement will come⟳ through investing in healthcare, communities, and homes. It will come⟳ through thinking about immigration through a different lens. There is a world where we can have⟳ much more than we do now, but that world can only come⟳ through spending money and growth,” she said.”
