"We live in a shadow of the world we could create. A world in which we shall be able to avert an almost certain ecological collapse, rather than waiting around for capitalism to push us beyond the point of no return. A world where the abolition of economic insecurity, precarity, poverty, unemployment and indignity is possible, while we lead meaningful lives within planetary boundaries. This is not a distant dream. It is a tangible prospect

We can move beyond the capitalist model and save the climate – here are the first three steps

Capitalism cares about our species’ prospects as much as a wolf cares about a lamb’s. But democratise our economy and a better world is within our grasp, say Jason Hickel and Yanis Varoufakis

"And the third condition is a Great Corporate Reform Act for the purpose of democratising corporations, favouring and promoting the formation of companies run along the lines of one employee, one share, one vote."

"We urgently need to overcome the capitalist law of value and democratise our economy, so that we can organise production around urgent social and ecological priorities. After all, we are the producers of the goods, the services, the technologies. It is our labour and our planet’s resources that are at stake. And so we must claim the right to decide what is produced, how, and for what purpose."

Planetarer Ausnahmezustand – Links der Woche, 8.-15.2.2026

Seit einiger Zeit lassen sich die Posts dieses Blogs auch als Newsletter abonnieren. Im Augenblick erscheint dieser Newsletter immer am Sonntag. Das führt dazu, dass ich versuche, bis zu diesem Termin etwas Lesbares zu formulieren, was wahrscheinlich nicht wirklich zur Form eines kontinuierlichen Blogs aus einzelnen Posts passt. Wie auch immer: In dieser Woche schaffe ich es nur kurz festzuhalten, welche Texte ich gelesen und welche Podcasts ich gehört habe, darüber hinausgehende Posts müssen warten. […]

"No hay que confundir desarrollo humano con crecimiento económico. Este último produce un efecto de saturación, un punto a partir del cual el aumento del PIB no tiene una correspondencia con una mejora de la calidad de vida."

⚠️ Corregimos la información. Hickel no defendió el "fin de los subsidios a las fósiles" sino el "fin de la inversión en fósiles", que es bien distinto. Hemos corregido el artículo y os pedimos disculpas, comenzando por el propio #JasonHickel

RT @gerrymcgovern: "Degrowth is an anti-capitalist position, firmly rooted in ecosocialist analysis. The core of ecosocialism is that we should democratize control over production so that we can organize it around ensuring human well-being and ecological stability."

"Degrowth is targeted at rich economies, and specifically their ruling classes, which are overwhelmingly responsible for driving the ecological crisis."

In a moment when The Atlantic is calling Donald Trump a "degrowther," it's time for Jason Hickel to break down what degrowth is and isn't. In a moment when The Atlantic is calling Donald Trump a "degrowther," it's time for Jason Hickel to break down what degrowth is and isn't.
