We bring you this lesser-known economic model that avoids both growth and #degrowth. #Agrowth advocates for indifference toward Gross Domestic Product, and prioritises broader social goals like environmental sustainability and social welfare. Thoughts? 👇 populationmatters.org/news/2024/10/a…
@timparrique Ivan Savin Interesting notes on #agrowth in your essay: 1) its "apparent neutrality ... is also its weakness" -- or strength as it depolarizes: many pro- and degrowth supporters praised it. 2) "no agrowth movement" -- yet, more popular than degrowth in various public & researcher surveys.
QBAS - learn #degrowth Ivan Savin You think degrowth is the only solution in town? What about environmental & climate policy? And wrt growth positions, there's a 3rd option next to pro- & anti-growth: #agrowth - meaning ignoring GDP and its growth, thus making space for good policies. See en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agrowth
blancoarchitect Het model dat succesvol is gebleken van Afrika tot Indië: increase bureaucracy (and (implicit) corruption) and reduce economic growth. #degrowth #agrowth
Om nog eens terug te komen op Paul Magnette’s #agrowth. In berekening betaalbaarheid gezondheidszorg en pensioenen zit een assumptie van economische groei. Neem die weg, en dan is Magnette’s verhaal er paradoxaal genoeg een van totale erosie van staat en/of sociale zekerheid
