The degrowth movement wants to intentionally shrink the economy to address climate change, and create lives with less stuff, less work, and better well-being. But is it a utopian fantasy?

      Way ahead of you, energy has already been nationalized here for a long time.

            That’s cool. Do they ignore climate change in their energy calculations? Because if they are nationalized and choose to burn Shale Oil for energy, then they are kind of missing the point.

              The Canadian state is just 3 oligarchs a trenchcoat. It’s no different than if it was privatized.

        cronyism

        This is like saying feudalism would be fine if you could get rid of the nepotism.
