"Outgrow the System är en tankeväckande dokumentärfilm om övergången till ett hållbart ekonomiskt system.

"Ändra systemet, inte klimatet" är ett vanligt krav inom klimatrörelsen. Men vilket slags system vill vi egentligen ha? Möt de nya ekonomiska perspektiven som har potential att förändra världen i grunden."

Outgrow the system – Wirtschaft neu denken - Die ganze Doku | ARTE

Was wäre, wenn Wirtschaft nicht Gewinnmaximierung, sondern soziales und ökologisches Gleichgewicht anstrebte?

The thing you keep thinking you should do, that would be good for the climate and good for you, but it feels too hard to confront? That's your #degrowth edge

My profile tells me it's just over a year since I joined Mastodon, so a bit late for an #introduction but I hear it is a good way to get started on here.

As per my bio, I'm an #ecosocialist from #scotland . I'm principally on here because I write #blogs where I #review things I read, watch or play.

Other than that, my key interests are #culture, #politics, #cats, #taichi, #SF, #books, #systems, #cybernetics, #taoism, #environment and #degrowth.

Recommendations for follows are appreciated.
