Leonardo English
About this episode

 


Degrowth and Effective Accelerationism - two outlooks about the direction in which humanity needs to go to stay alive. But they couldn't be any more different.

 

In this episode, we'll be exploring these two ideas and perhaps, come to some conclusions on how to save the world.

 
  • Degrowth vs E/Acc: Exploring opposing visions for humanity's future
  • Historical global economy trends: Growth, challenges, and environmental impact
  • Degrowth concept: Reducing production, consumption for sustainability and equality
  • E/Acc approach: Technological advancement, energy, AI, interplanetary development
  • Divergence in ideologies: Brake vs. accelerate, limits vs. market expansion
  • Degrowth momentum: European Parliament conference and impact on policy
  • E/Acc's grassroots movement: Unconventional solutions, influential supporters
  • Unprecedented futures: Revisiting the past, accelerating progress, potential consequences
  • Finding common ground: Both emphasize radical action away from status quo
