This is a recording of an introductory course held at the 4th International Degrowth Conference for Ecological Sustainability and Social Equity in Leipzig in 2014. Federico Demaria from the French-Spanish organisation Research and Degrowth gives an introduction to degrowth. The presentation is based on the introduction to the book “Degrowth. A vocabulary for a new era.” and discusses definitions of degrowth, degrowth literature, debates, history and further research to be done.

 

Comment from our editors:

The lecture portion of the speech begins at 10:36. There are some quality issues, but it provides a good summary of the history and "twist and turns" of degrowth up until 2014.
