Grateful to have collaborated on this work with many great minds --> How to create new, more equal and less violent worlds? Degrowth visions promise such worlds, but a central problem remains how to understand degrowth as it exists now. Here we offer some ways to ground degrowth political theorizing
New paper out: Encountering Degrowth
We propose “encounters” as a way to study degrowth as lived practice, seen in territorial dynamics across Greece, Southern Italy, and Indonesia, and what this reveals about political economy, agrarian change, and global capitalism

![TIME FOR SOCIALISM: DISPATCGES FROM A WORLD ON FIRE, 2016-2021 by Thomas Piketty (2021 [2020]; translated by Kristin Couper from VIVEMENT LE SOCIALISME! CHRONIQUES, 2016-2020)
World-renowned economist Thomas Piketty has documented many of the recent political events that have shaken the planet, always arguing for a more equitable world. This collection brings together those articles and is prefaced by an extended introductory essay in which he argues that the time has come to support an inclusive and expansive conception of socialism as a counterweight against the hypercapitalism that defines our current economic ideology. These essays offer readers an accessible way to understand the struggle against inequalities and tax evasion, in favour of a globalization more respectful of work and the environment.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:liweifjp72sawd2tfklp6egk/bafkreibpyddew7cuftb3ybndf3orkimv77qaftorifnj65hgpqodo4gppq)

Graeber also centres indigenous Malagasy women this materialist history of debates about democracy and property in the European salons of the Enlightenment.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:liweifjp72sawd2tfklp6egk/bafkreigzqbwzeopd2viyxzsj3wthxtesnhf6aatzfdgzsoyblpflfai7hm)
