Here's a quick roundup of highlights from research we published in 2022, on capitalism, imperialism, degrowth and decolonization. It's all open-access, and free PDFs are available via the link at the end of the thread. 🧵

The Regenerative Enterprise module of our Regenerative Economics MA is also offered as a short course. Could be the one of last opportunities to experience our kind of transformative education, at least in this field & in this place. See you in January? dartington.org/event/regenera…

Many who've had contact with Schumacher College in one form or another have probably heard that it’s in crisis. It's an interesting story, including our opportunities for reinvention. This is what it looks like from my perspective. Warning: it’s long. enterprisingecosystems.org/2024/05/01/tea…

"The Girona City Council Ajuntament de Girona will become the first Spanish public administration to explore #degrowth, through a laboratory in which municipal officials will participate; researchers from R&D, from the University of Girona; and technicians from Dark Matter Labs."

My take on the green subsidies trade war. Put up tariffs if you must, but the moral, economic, environmental arguments are on the side of those that subsidize green products, not those who want to tax them. project-syndicate.org/commentary/gre…

Indeed! If THE RICHEST don't pay their fair share in #taxes they are benefitting from public education, public infrastructure, public security and so on, without paying for them. They are acting like LARGE SCALE SHOPLIFTERS!

This will be an innovative course, I think, linking with the intellectual and academic heritage of Schumacher College while stretching into new territory apropos the current state of our collective predicament. It will include a module on economics, too. campus.dartington.org/schumacher-fou…
