Green economy and carbon markets for conservation and development: a critical view (2016, background): “One of these streams of thought, arising mainly from Europe, is degrowth, or decroissance, decrecimiento, decrescita, decreixement, Postwachstum, etc. (D’Alisa et al. 2014; Latouche 2009; Martı́nez-Alier et al. 2010; Muraca 2012; Paech 2012).”
Socially sustainable degrowth as a social–ecological transformation: repoliticizing sustainability (2015, background): “…the possibility that some ideas, such as the dematerialization of the world’s economy (UNEP 2011), ecological modernization, green growth (Martinez-Alier 2014; Latouche 2009; Gómez-Baggethun and Naredo 2015, this feature) and the circular economy (Haas et al. 2015) fulfil their promises.”
In defence of degrowth (2011, background): “…of property, work, credit and allocation, that the system that will result will no longer be identifiable as capitalism (Gorz, 1994; Jackson, 2009; Latouche, 2009). van den Bergh (this issue) has a point though: there is a problematic vagueness in the degrowth proposal in so far as the…”
Assessing the degrowth discourse: A review and analysis of academic degrowth policy proposals (2017, background): “Degrowth claims that we should abandon the goal of growth for growths sake, and thus the idea of society being an instrument of the productive mechanism (Latouche, 2009).”
Buen Vivir, Degrowth and Ecological Swaraj: Alternatives to sustainable development and the Green Economy (2014, unknown): “3 Considering the weak and arbitrary nature of GDP as an indicator (Van den Bergh, 2009), and following Latouche (2009), the irrelevance of GDP increases/decreases can be expressed with the term ‘a-growth’ in the same sense that one can be an a-theist (Demaria et al., 2013).”
11. Capitalism, Technology and a Green Global Golden Age: The Role of History in Helping to Shape the Future (2015, background): “3 For example: Jackson (2009); Latouche (2010) in labour productivity through the change in proportions of labour and capital do reflect process innovations, but the impact of radical product innovations can neither be expressed nor predicted.”
Economic Growth and Climate Change: A Cross-National Analysis of Territorial and Consumption-Based Carbon Emissions in High-Income Countries (2014, background): “Given limited “ecological space,” [7] as well as an urgent need to reduce emissions rapidly, some scholars are arguing that wealthy countries must to aim for either a steady-state or even de-growth [4,8–11].”
The economics of degrowth (2012, background): “…on Economic Degrowth (Barcelona, May 26–29 2010).1 Contributions fall under three inter-related literatures: Steady-State Economics (SSE) (Daly, 1996); the new economics (NE) of prosperity (Jackson, 2009, NEF, 2009; Schor, 2011); and Degrowth (DG) (Latouche, 2009; Martinez-Alier et al., 2010).”
Environment versus growth — A criticism of "degrowth" and a plea for "a-growth" (2011, background): “The latter would mean not only (as a direct effect) less production and lower wages, and therefore less consumption, but arguably also less work stress and more happiness due to more leisure and time for family and friends (Gorz, 1994; Latouche, 2009).”
The ideology of the ethical consumption gap (2016, background): “For example in the context of the natural environment many observers have argued that in order to halt the ecological catastrophe we need not only responsible consumption but significantly reduced consumption (often referred to as degrowth) (Latouche 2009; Schneider et al. 2010).”
The Voluntary Simplicity Movement: A multi-national survey analysis in theoretical context (2012, unknown): “…that, due to ecological overshoot (among other reasons, such as global population growth), the richest nations will need to move through a period of planned economic contraction before seeking to achieve a steady state economy (Latouche, 2009; Kallis, 2011; Alexander, 2011b, 2012a, forthcoming).”
The Prerequisites for a Degrowth Paradigm Shift: Insights from Critical Political Economy (2018, background): “2 entails profound socio-economic changes (Boonstra & Joosse, 2013; G Kallis, 2011; Latouche, 2009).”
