Is economic growth an illusion? (pre-read)

"The Future Is Degrowth" (2002) advocates for a shift away from the pursuit of economic growth towards sustainable, equitable, and ecological well-being. It critiques consumerism, emphasizes social and environmental justice, and promotes alternative measures of progress. The book presents degrowth as a viable pathway to address climate change and global inequalities.

For the discussion, please read chapter 2 ("Economic Growth", 30 pages) in advance. The link to the book The Future Is Degrowth is here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1O0oKOlWJFaj2akrGDxmWboj6rsGtFFbE/view?usp=sharing
