In this series of webinars, several researchers face different topics related to Degrowth. Money, health, Green New Deal, Anarchism, and many more. Each talk is focused on a specific argument, but they share the common vision behind of Degrowth. You can find all videos on the Degrowth Talks YouTube channel.

Here is the complete list of the 10 talks:

  • Degrowth, feminism and pluriverse for a new normal
  • Decolonising Degrowth: voices from the majority of the world
  • Transforming Money for Degrowth
  • The Green New Deal and the Political Economy of Degrowth
  • Doing Business in a Degrowth Economy

  • Degrowth- with, without or against the state?
  • Decrecer para vivir bien
  • Biodiverse Degrowth? The future of conservation without growth
  • Building Degrowth: Strategies for Cities
  • Degrowth and the art of imagining a better world

Comment from our editors:

I recommend these videos as they explore a wide range of different topics and issues, and clearly explain the Degrowth point of view about them.

This is a series of aproximately two hour talks on degrowth, each focusing on a different aspect, such as finance, feminism, political economy, economic choices, etc. The discussion-oriented character of these talks allow multidisciplinary critical perspectives to illuminate one topic simultaneously.

In the inspiring interview on Economics of Care, Nancy Foblre takes a closer look to the consequences of the marketization of caring activities on those activities and on the societal organization of care. Folbre elaborates on how to value care and how this shifts the perspectives on living standards. She points to the fact, that caring activities are undervalued both in the market sphere and within the family and thereby questions the division between those spheres. Lastly, Folbre answers the question how to reteach Economics when accounting for caring activities.
