The app for independent voices

I looked through a bit of the degrowth literature and I found:

  • Blatant admission that it’s an activist project looking for research to support foregone conclusions

  • Citations of random degrowth-oriented journals no one outside the movement has heard of

  • Grandiose declarations that degrowth will reinvent a whole bunch of academic fields

  • Essentially no attempt to engage with mainstream research in economics, ecology, or sociology

  • Assumptions that past trends will continue forever

  • Bad data practices, such as lumping all natural resources together by weight

  • A mishmash of random leftist rhetoric

  • Lots of other silly stuff.

Folks, degrowth is pure snake oil.

Degrowth: We can't let it happen here!
