"Post-growth transformation faces categorically different barriers than growth-oriented scenarios. While post-growth will encounter stronger socio-cultural and political opposition from affluent classes and pro-capitalist actors who would see diminished power, it faces weaker geophysical and technological feasibility concerns by decreasing demand for energy, materials, and land."
