Climate Activists Push Electrification and Degrowth | City Journal
For degrowth proponents, the improvement in global living standards is nothing to celebrate. According to a new article in Nature, degrowth requires developed countries to abandon economic expansion as a goal. It means producing and consuming less, abandoning less necessary consumption of fossil fuels, meat and dairy products, cars and air travel, and even fast fashion. It means less (or no) private ownership and new ways (read: government control) of provisioning individuals to meet their needs.
If all this sounds similar to Marx s slogan, from each according to his ability, to each according to his needs, that s because it is.
