Degrowth: Shrinking the economy to save the planet - What in the World podcast, BBC World Service

More money, more growth, more stuff. A group of activists and academics are questioning the possibility of endless economic growth on a finite planet and are advocating for a bold solution: degrowth. Click here to subscribe to our channel 👉🏽 https://bbc.in/3VyyriM The movement argues for a 'democratisation of the economy' and for collectively managing key resources, like housing. This, they argue, would also help us to live more sustainably - and help in the fight against climate change. But critics argue that opposing economic growth is impractical and warn of negative consequences, especially for the most vulnerable. BBC journalist Alvaro Alvarez has been reporting on this. He joins us to explain the pros and cons of the theory. We also hear from Oxford university professor Sam Fankhauser, and TikToker @wai.iti.ridge in New Zealand, who’s living her off-grid dream. 00:00 Intro 01:44 What is degrowth? 02:42 What would need to grow? 02:57 The ‘problem’ with GDP? 04:03 Where is degrowth’ popular? 4:44 Degrowth advocate 06:09 Degrowth example in Spain 07:01 Degrowth and the economy 07:19 ‘Problems' with degrowth 07:55 Is it only aimed at the global North? 08:38 Can’t we just be more climate conscious? 09:41 Can degrowth actually work?
