<p>Friends, <br>
</p>
I'm all agog<br>
At the poetic skills in PeDAGoG<br>
Members inspiring their peers <br>
To throw more verbal spears <br>
At the evil growth demagogue! <br>
<p>Ok, folks, beyond this clearly v. enjoyable exchange, can we pl.
get back to some of the actions we had decided on at our last
collective call, which seems like it was many moons back? It would
be nice to have some activities of this network, beyond the
occasional email exchange. <br>
</p>
<p>I've requested Brandon to initiate some conversation on this ...
thanks, <br>
</p>

windowtext 1.0pt;padding:0in" lang="EN-US"> "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.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>

of urgency pervades global environmentalism, and the
degrowth movement is bursting into the mainstream. 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." <o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
