I can't believe I had missed this paper!
Earlier in 2025, the leading researchers on #postgrowth #economics (including Hickel, Jackson, Kallis, Raworth and Steinberger) ganged up to write a thoughtful review of post-growth research.
The field has grown robust, branching out on important side quests, such as "do we have enough resources to secure decent living standards for 10 billion people?"and "how can we sustain a welfare state without growth?"
THREAD 1/n
Researchers have created a comprehensive research agenda, and are well into implementation. For example, we now have "ecological macro" models that combine environmental with economic and financial variables, and can be used for simulations: LowGrow, with data from Canada, and Eurogreen, with data from France. We also have solid research on indicators of performance alternative to GDP, that can distinguish between beneficial and pernicious economic activities.
