Merci pour le passage en non-kids qui permet les partages Timothée ! Votre travail est remarquable !

[@StephanieResnick-DG1]

Merci beaucoup! This will hold me over until the book is published in English :)

I feel so lucky to have found your work. Yanis Varoufakis published a video today with Jason Hickels. I think Degrowth is gaining momentum thanks to voices like yours and Jason’s. Kate Raworth is another brilliant proponent of Degrowth ❤

Thanks for the video summary, waiting for the English Version of the book.

[@brondayvid4612]

Hi Timothé congrats for your amazing researching in degrowth...when will your books trasnlate into Spanish????

[@MichaelWolfe1000]

very interesting... because I gather if GDP is nothing but adding how much money moves around in could be said that people fleeing due to some menace and selling their homes would count as economic growht but in reality is is far from it. Also, for those economists when they say growth, they really mean profits, and in a capitalist economy continuous growth is believed to ever bring growing profits... and who profits?... not the employees, unless not being fired is considered a gain. Then there is the eocological, energy and resource aspect. Since growth is linked to available energy, what happens when the energy availability dwindles?

Decroissance ≠🥐🥐🥐🥐🥐 (des croissants)🙂😋

I think degrowth can be done individually, as I, and many others, have done it. I don't see a democratic will to do it on a planetary scale. So at this time, the most effective solution remains decoupling growth and ecological footprint. And I think it is working and growing exponentially. I also think degrowth is an accelerator to transition the economy to become sustainable. Ultimately we will continue to grow, within planetary limits.

Dear Timothée, we need to get rid of the corporate structures and compound interest. These are the main systemic problems.

[@hdemocritique2355]

That is a main democratic issue. Solving it would require something obvious to engineers, aka the formal separation within the State Institutions of an Informative duty separated from the ordinary executive duty, as it is theoretically from legislative and justice duties. Otherwise, corruption can hardly be avoided

[@Raelspark]

Nonsense. We need more growth and capitalism.
