What is Degrowth? A radical overhaul of how we do development with Dr. Giacomo D'Alisa
Listen now
Description
In this week’s podcast, our event director, Zilun, talk about ‘degrowth’, the radical idea which tries to understand development beyond economic growth. Instead, degrowth focuses on sustainability, equality, fairness and justices alongside simple measures of economic prosperity. To supporters of degrowth, it is the way to understand development holistically and with a sharper focus on well-being - all of which are currently overlooked by economic growth. Zilun is joined by Dr. Giacomo D’Alisa, one of the founding members of the Degrowth movement to discuss the implications and feasibility in our modern day world. Podcast by Zilun Lin. Music by Lorcan Cudlip Cook. Find out more about the Oxford Society for International Development at oxsid.org
