A vital part of the practice of rewilding fashion is to embrace local knowledge, and empower marginalized communities. Central is the departure from the exploitative, hegemonic systems that tend to…| The Immaterialist
Degrowth is a relatively new word, and although there are different interpretations, one thing seems certain: sustainability cannot be reached without embracing degrowth. by Richard Grossman MD Recently I wrote about 2 words that have negative implications to many people, “population” and “overpopulation”. I’m now introducing a word that will be new to many people […] The post Degrowth appeared first on The Overpopulation Project.| The Overpopulation Project
This series of three short articles by Brian Davey has appeared on the FEASTA website. FEASTA is the Foundation for the Economics of Sustainability, based in Ireland.

You don’t force a river to flow—you restore the landscape so it can find its course. I listen to myself talk a lot about rewilding lately. Maybe too much. Probably too much actually (I see those ey…| The Immaterialist

For economic-system reform, some think we need bottom-up change, and others think it must be top-down. The correct answer: all of the above.| Center for the Advancement of the Steady State Economy
Good news, the Financial Times ran a piece on degrowth. It’s a 3-min video titled “Could the degrowth movement save our planet?” starring economics columnist Soumaya Keynes. Perfect opportunity to prolong the discussion by mobilising some of the academic literature on the topic.[1] Since this is not a direct critique of degrowth, I shall not write my usual response.

Literature reviews are usually quite uncontroversial. But this is not the case of “Reviewing studies of degrowth: Are claims matched by data, methods and policy analysis?”, a recent paper by Ivan Savin and Jeroen van den Bergh, two economists at the Autonomous University of Barcelona. “The piece sparked a meltdown,” explains Glen Peters, who witnessed the online stir […]| Timothée Parrique
On February 23rd, 2024, the New York-based socialist magazine Jacobin published “4 problems for the degrowth movement,” a short piece written by Daniel Driscoll, a social science researcher at Brown University. Like all the previous Jacobin articles touching on the topic[1], this one is firmly against degrowth. On social media, the article has been intensely bashed. “Pure ideological blinkers” (Julia […]| Timothée Parrique

On March 23, 2025 I delivered a lecture for the Rising Tide Foundation “Breaking America: How Bioregionalism Seeks to Dismantle the Nation State.” This lecture explores bioregionalism as more than a fringe environmental idea—it is a weaponized ideology designed to fragment the United States from within. Under the guise of “local sustainability” and ecological harmony, […] The post Lecture: Breaking America—How Bioregionalism Seeks to Dismantle the Nation State appeared first on ...| Space Commune
Interview with Hrvoje Morić of Geopolitics & Empire: Fox Green discusses “bioregionalism” and apparent decentralized localist movements whose true hidden purpose is to dismantle the nation state, create feudal city-states, and pave way for the world state. Ecological, theosophic, and transhumanist movements underlie these currents. He comments on Mark Carney coming to power, the degrowth […]| Space Commune

The other morning, I noticed that a large cocoon, which had been stuck to our bathroom wall for some time, was empty; the brand-new butterfly had emerged. Such are the cycles of nature: flora and fauna change, decay, and perish. The beauty and magic of nature lie in these transformations and in decay. The shifting […]| The Immaterialist
Today’s luxury is not ostentatious and does not reflect status-driven purchasing power. Instead, luxury is associated with sustainability, the need for value-based communities, and a preference for the imperfect and the human. The new forms of luxury, which will be explored here, also focus on sensibility, slowness, and time. Luxury in 2024 is interconnected with sensory, tactile experiences. As many of […]| The Immaterialist

We kicked off the degrowth series in Athens, and it was a full house! During our very first onsite meeting, we introduced ourselves by explaining the reasons that brought us together in this seminar. We discussed the climate emergency and the imperative to question our socio-economic systems, as well as the current policies and practices aimed at securing a livable planet. We shared our professional, social, and political experiences and discussed how these experiences have shaped our posit...| Inter Alia
