Ok article overall, although the title should probably be more like ‘Here is why we will never degrowth.’ Although this paragraph really got my hackles up:

As a result, the first problem for the degrowthers is that voters in rich countries have experienced a form of degrowth since the Global Financial Crisis of 2008 and they don’t seem to like it all that much

Being less well off because of corporate fuckery is not what degrowth is, if anything consumerism has massively increased even with less free income around.

Degrowth has an image problem ⨯

People with a vested interest in keeping the status quo are fighting against it ✓
