• Alexander Dunlap Can Degrowth Struggle? Anarchist Engagement with Degrowth Over the last two decades the degrowth movement has made an impressive come-back. By challenging the hegemonic formulations of neoliberal economic policy – which is still, somehow, being taught in universities and earning people Nobel prices – degrowth has managed to attack the established economic thinking by demanding greater scholarly rigor and questioning the subsumption of everything into the economy. Degrowth rattles the logics of scarcity and substitutability that is foundational to economic thought. This is the first of a new joint venture into publishing between Active and Rupture Press. – a small collection of essays confronting degrowth scholarship. While this collection advocates and supports degrowth, it does not hold back from chastising degrowth scholarship for ignoring militant land struggles in europe and beyond. This includes identifying how ideas of anarchist organisation and mutual aid are appropriated while disregarding the combative practices attached to them. These essays highlight important issues and academic traps that tend to disadvantage radical political thought and the struggles that surround them. €4.00
