Version 3.2

Degrowth in France, a conference around the book "La decroissance et ses déclinaisons. Pour sortir des clichés et des généralités" of la Maison commune de la décroissance

The french organization "La maison commune de la décroissance" dedicates itself to build and consolidate the ideology of degrowth in France, in order to reinforce the french degrowth movement and it's visibility. We define degrowth as a path, a mere traject between the world that we don't want anymore (growth and "it's world", based on domination over nature, women and the global South) and the world that we dream about (human-scaled, ecologically sustainable, based on social decency and common sense) : as such, degrowth encompass all the measures that economically and politically organize the way out extractivism, productivism and consumerism. Degrowth is asking the crucial question that everyone carefully avoid : HOW do we do ? Considering that growth is now more a political system than an economical one, a compass that guides every aspect of our life, an ideology in which the life of the society is embedded in economy, we recently published a book to fight prejudices against degrowth and to offer concrete political ways out of growth, as many way to "decline" degrowth (ecofeminism, peasant community, de-marketing) : let's discuss it together !
