Giuseppe Feola gives talk at Alternative Visions Festival

04 September 2020. Giuseppe Feola gave a talk today at the Alternative Visions – Festival of Humans, Artworks and Ideas held at Stroom in Den Haag.

Giuseppe’s talk on ‘Degrowth and degrowth transition‘ was part of an exciting panel on new economic visions: Is there an alternative to the capitalist economy as we know it? Many scholars and activists tell us that what is really required is de-growth. But is growth essential for human welfare? And what would degrowth look like in practice? This panel tackles these questions head on, and reflects in particular on the consequences of degrowth for the extraction industry, from sand to fossil fuels. The panel will be followed by an interactive workshop by Our New Economy, to help us reflect on the question of what needs to degrow, and what needs to grow instead (http://altvisions.org/festival).
