Degrowth and Wellbeing: Pressure, Pathways, and Power

Описание: If you’ve followed climate or economic debates for any length of time, you’ve probably noticed the language feels… tangled.
Growth. Degrowth. Post-growth. Wellbeing. Doughnut economics.
They’re often used as if they mean the same thing.
They don’t.

In this thinking piece, I unpack the *strategic roles* these ideas actually play — and why misunderstanding them can make real change feel endlessly out of reach.
This video explores:
The growth economy as a burning building
Degrowth as a form of **pressure**, not a destination
Wellbeing and Doughnut Economics as **invitations**, not solutions on their own
Why both confrontation and care are necessary for system change
How major economic shifts have happened historically — not through permission, but through legitimacy breaking down

This isn’t about choosing the “right” word. It’s about understanding how systems actually change.
If you’ve ever felt confused — or skeptical — about the language of sustainability, this video is for you.
