  No wonder the degrowth movement exists. It’s because of this bullshit that we harm everything around us.

  Economists and those that made political theory have been looking for better alternatives since the formation of civilization.

  What is your suggestion for a better system?

      Degrowth

      From your source:

      "For world economic equality to be achieved with the currently available resources, proponents say rich countries would have to reduce their standard of living through degrowth. "

      Can I ask what measures you’ve taken in your life to reduce your standard of living to match the degrowth goal?

        Buy local products, most of my belongings are second hand or have been in my possession for a long time (the oldest piece of clothing I was gifted is about 40 years old, the oldest I bought about 20), don't own a car and public transport is taken whenever possible, short distances are by bike or foot, food waste is nearly 0, etc.

        How about you?
