De Maldesarrollo a Decrecimiento: Una visión posfósil y globalmente justa para las sociedades del Norte global

Why is it that, in the critical debate on development and post-development, one often speaks mainly of the countries of the global South? What would it mean to direct the post-development perspective towards countries of the global North as well? These questions were at the origin of the debate on degrowth, which first developed in France in the 2000s. This article provides an overview of the current debate on degrowth, focusing on South-North critiques and proposals for system change. Based on the systematisation of transformation strategies by sociologist and utopian researcher Erik Olin Wright, the article analyses the extent to which degrowth is desirable, viable and achievable.
