Democracies with a future: Degrowth and the democratic tradition   https://trise.org/2024/03/13/democracies-with-a-future-degrowth-and-the-democratic-tradition/ 

degrowth recall the idea of a wider reconfiguration of the objectives of politics in a well-being society?

the perspective of degrowth imply also the need for a deep reform of the institutions and of the democratic forms of participation

the impact of our technologies and production processes, our standards of consumption, demographic transformations, and thus evaluations of risk, of self-limitation, and of the responsible assumption of intergenerational duties, impose themselves as crucial aspects of a political rethink.

the emancipatory role played by free economic initiative in the construction of political democracy cannot be denied

the present crisis of democracy can be read as the crisis of the centrality of the traditional political sphere and of the prerogatives of the State in its capacity to govern society and economy. We are not in front of differentiated systems, where everyone functions autonomously, but in front of a more and more ambiguous and rampant interpenetration between economic interests and political decisions

In the current scenario, there are therefore a series of ‘‘hybrid figures’’ that move between the economic and the political sphere in a supranational space with a power that rivals that of many state actors and institutions [8].
