Synopsis

This essential book explores a diverse array of perspectives on degrowth, a movement critical of the global capitalist system pursuing economic growth at all costs. Contributing authors provide insights into the connections between degrowth and fields such as art, architecture, literature, and post-development, setting an agenda for future research.



Bringing together theories from different research backgrounds, chapters engage with degrowth in the context of dance, migration, strategy games, fashion, and solarpunk among others. The book also investigates the impact of capitalist-colonial-patriarchal hierarchies on relationships at the personal and global level, reflecting on key forms of resistance and highlighting opportunities to break away from colonial legacies. Ultimately, authors emphasize the indispensable role of degrowth strategies in cultivating an inclusive and sustainable future based on justice and equity.



Students and scholars of economics, geography, politics, and sustainability studies will benefit from this book’s forward-thinking analysis of degrowth. Its interdisciplinary focus also makes this a valuable resource for academics in fields such as architecture, feminist and queer studies, and literary studies.
