Wie sieht eine zukunftsfähige Gesellschaft jenseits von Wachstum, Konkurrenz & ökologischer Zerstörung aus?

Diese Frage beantworten wir in unserem Buch #ZukunftFürAlle. Es ist die Diskussionsgrundlage für den Kongress des Konzeptwerk @NeueOekonomie, der heute beginnt. Thread 1/
Das Buch "Zukunft für alle. Eine Vision für 2048 - gerecht. ökologisch. machbar" erscheint im Oktober beim @oekomverlag, ist OPEN ACCESS, und schon jetzt gibt es eine Vorabversion als PDF zum Download. /2

Diese Vision ist durch die Zusammenarbeit mit vielen Partner*innen entstanden. Sie baut auf den Ergebnissen von zwölf Zukunftswerkstätten mit knapp 200 Vordenker*innen aus verschiedenen Gesellschaftsbereichen auf. /3
Worum gehts, was findet sich im Buch? In 15 Kapiteln skizzieren wir mögliche Zukunftsszenarien, diskutieren offene Fragen und erzählen Geschichten aus der Zukunft. /4
Ein langes Kapitel beantwortet die Transformationsfrage: Und wie kommen wir dahin?

Neben Megatrends beschreiben wir auch mögliche Ereignisse auf dem Weg in die Zukunft - lasst euch inspirieren. /5
Das Buch "Zukunft für alle" ist vor allem eines: eine Einladung zum Denken, Träumen, Debattieren und Kritisieren. Wir wollen damit zu einer ernst­haften gesamtgesellschaftlichen Debatte über eine gerechte und ökologische Zukunft beitragen.

Wir sind gespannt auf Reaktionen! /6

Are we moving closer to the end of GDP?

For the first time since 1990 China does not publish a GDP growth target. It argues that instead the government will “give priority to stabilising employment and ensuring living standards”. Short history thread /1

theguardian.com/world/2020/may…
However, this move away from growth targets signals more the uncertainty about future growth rates, Chinas likely failure to achieve its pledge of a doubling of GDP from 2010 to 2020, and social unrest throughout the country. /2
Interestingly, Western nations also had growth targets: Back in 1960 the OECD pledged to increase its GDP by 50% within a decade and in 1970 by 65%. The second target could not be achieved - and lead to end of Cold War GDP-targets. /3

Our new book 🚀🐌✊🏾 #Degrowth in Movement(s): Exploring pathways for transformtion

A dictionary of social movements and alternatives for a future beyond economic growth, capitalism, and domination. 📘Published @Zer0Books & with CC licence. Whats it about, whos in it? 👉🏽THREAD 1/
There have been many books on the concepts of alternative economies, on the #GreenNewDeal, a #wellbeing economy, #postcapitalism or #degrowth. But what about the practices?

How can the transformation of society be conceptualized? And how can we built alliances for this? 2/
Degrowth is not just a new term for an ongoing discussion on alternatives or a thriving academic research paradigm.

Its also an emerging social movement that overlaps considerably with other social movements – from #BasicIncome to #commons #unions #cooperatives #Feminism /3

„GDP growth in crisis“ „We need to save the economy and restart growth.“

This crisis shows, how much we take growth for granted: its natural, necessary & good. However, this view is rather new. How did it emerge?

5 years ago, I published a book on this @CambridgeUP. Thread 1/
Yes, modern economies are structurally dependent on economic growth and accumulation. But growth is also an ideology: it unleashes promises, frames thinking, disciplines societies. This ideology only emerged in the 1940s, as did the term in public and academic discourse 👇 2/
What can we learn from this history? A lot🙃
First: „The economy“ is an invention that masks markets and profits as inevitable and natural. GDP statistics were highly controversial among those economists who first invented them. And this has large repercussions, to this day. 3/
