Still can’t get over the fact that an editor of the Financial Times said that we need to do away with #capitalism in order to deal with the #climate. If that’s not a sign of mainstream economics/finance finally waking up to the reality of the situation we’re in, I don’t now what is.

@Brendanjones I just published about this subject. Capitalism and, even worse, neoliberal capitalism must go. We must demand #Degrowth. It's our only chance. https://geoffreydeihl.substack.com/p/degrowth-the-vision-we-must-demand

@Brendanjones Thank you. From my informal conversations, it seems most people have never even heard of Degrowth. I truly believe if we don't shrink the economy, renewables won't have a chance to bring global warming under control. It's important to get the concept out there and promote it.

@gdeihl can’t agree more. Here’s one person you don’t have to convince about degrowth :)

@Brendanjones That means you and I have to be the ambassadors of getting it out there. It wouldn't be easy to accomplish, but could solve so many interwoven problems.
