Episode 143: Degrowth

In episode 143 of Overthink, Ellie and David explore the topic of degrowth. They discuss the imperial mode of living, Kohei Saito’s pillars of degrowth communism, and the iron law of capitalism. How does the degrowth movement build off of Karl Marx’s theory of capital? What are the differences between the Degrowthers’ criticisms of the Green New Deal and the greenwashing criticisms against it? And how can we build a post-capitalist world?
