Three books in dialogue:
Giorgos Kallis, Susan Paulson, Giacomo D'Alisa, Federico Demaria, 2020. The Case for Degrowth. Polity Press, 140 pages: https://www.wiley.com/en-gb/The+Case+...<https://www.youtube.com/redirect?redir_token=QUFFLUhqa0p1ZTJQZUpDRmhHaW02ZlVuU1hLeUFxTzVMZ3xBQ3Jtc0trSC1HM2pXbzdENWhUekJFaFd0a0E2dW9ObFhPVkMwYlVEZk9UUXZ3d25tMWtERVc0cGZsMWp2ZkstZnkySjlFWl96ZndBUlExcS1pTGdsTHZnWGxzTGFOc09UX0pmS3hRWmFXX0tydVF1NkJQRGgtYw%3D%3D&q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.wiley.com%2Fen-gb%2FThe%2BCase%2Bfor%2BDegrowth-p-9781509535637&v=9RJsW3pspCE&event=video_description> "The relentless pursuit of economic growth is the defining characteristic of contemporary societies. Yet it benefits few and demands monstrous social and ecological sacrifice. Is there a viable alternative? How can we halt the endless quest to grow global production and consumption and instead secure socio-ecological conditions that support lives worth living for all? In this compelling book, leading experts Giorgos Kallis, Susan Paulson, Giacomo D'Alisa and Federico Demaria make the case for degrowth - living well with less, by living differently, prioritizing wellbeing, equity and sustainability. Drawing on emerging initiatives and enduring traditions around the world, they advance a radical degrowth vision and outline policies to shape work and care, income and investment that avoid exploitative and unsustainable practices. Degrowth, they argue, can be achieved through transformative strategies that allow societies to slow down by design, not disaster. Essential reading for all concerned citizens, policy-makers, and students, this book will be an important contribution to one of the thorniest and most pressing debates of our era." This debate is for anyone interested in the latest ideas and developments within the Degrowth movement, and those who are completely new to it. There will be a chance for you to get involved with other viewers in the YouTube chat, as well as ask questions to the authors.

Degrowth in Movement(s) reflects on the current situation of social movements aiming at overcoming capitalism, industrialism and domination. The essays ask: What is the key idea of the respective movement? Who is active? What is the relation with the degrowth movement? What can the degrowth movement learn from these other movements and the other way around? Which common proposals, but also which contradictions, oppositions and tensions exist? And what alliances could be possible for broader systemic transformations?"

As climate catastrophe looms closer, people are eager to learn what degrowth is about, and whether we can save the planet by changing how we live. This book is an introduction to the movement. As politicians and corporations obsess over growth objectives, the degrowth movement demands that we must slow down the economy by transforming our economies, our politics and our cultures to live within the Earth's limits. This book navigates the practice and strategies of the movement, looking at its strengths and weaknesses. Covering horizontal democracy, local economies and the reduction of work, it shows us why degrowth is a compelling and realistic project."
Panelists have been challenged to create a Limerick, and we invite the audience to put on their artistic hats and write their own degrowth-related limericks, which can be shared in the chat during the debate or via private message/tagging us on social media. The viewers can then vote for their favourite Limerick, and the "Audience favourite" will be announced at the end of the debate!
