De-growth

De-growth

The De-growth is a political and economical ideology in favour of a regular decrease of the economical production. For these supporters, the decrease of the economic production is the only solution to the environment issues that humanity is facing.

The trend of the De-growth affirms that the actual economic growth is not sustainable in a long term, due to the rarefaction of natural resources and the destruction of the environment that it engenders, even though it does not permit, according to the movement, to the populations to improve significantly their welfare.
