Giorgos Kallis publishes the book “In Defense of Degrowth”
ICTA-UAB researcher Giorgos Kallis has published the book “In defense of Degrowth. Opinions and minifestos”, which is a compendium of 27 essays and thoughts on degrowth. The idea of degrowth is contentious, often misunderstood, and (perhaps paradoxically) growing in popularity.
The idea of degrowth is contentious, often misunderstood, . In this book, Giorgos Kallis, one of the movement's leading thinkers, presents an accessible, inspiring, and enjoyable defense. The book's chapters—a compilation of his opinion essays, newspaper articles, blog posts, and 'minifestos'—range from topics such as eco-modernism, the history of economics, science fiction, the Greek crisis, and Hollywood films.
The book, which is edited by Aaron Vasintjan, also features debates and exchanges between Kallis and degrowth detractors. In defense of degrowth is intended as an introduction for the curious, a defense against the skeptics, and an intellectually stimulating conversation for those already convinced but willing to learn more.
