SR Talks | Charles Stevenson: Revolutionary strategy for degrowth & social-ecological transformation

67 views - 2 years ago

Abstract: The solutions to our interlocking social and ecological crises are here already. Degrowth offers a lens for connecting critiques of capitalism with policies that can help steer society away from our current trajectory of collapse towards social equity and ecological sustainability. What are needed are strategies that can build the requisite mass movement to break the political impasse we face. The ruptures and revolutions of the 21st century aren’t just on their way; they are here already. The question now is who will have the organisation to shape them. Speaker: Charles Stevenson is a PhD candidate at the Autonomous University of Barcelona researching the macroeconomics of a European degrowth transition, and an ecosocialist focussed on political strategy.
