Lately I've been doing a lot of reading about the concept of degrowth and the potential for transitioning to a steady-state economy. The ideas are so refreshing to read. They focus around what's fundamentally flawed with the current economic model and how degrowth can address these issues. These documents contain mostly policy advice for what governments (namely the UK government) can do in order to begin this transition. Of course, they also acknowledge that before a government can make a fair and democratic transition to another economic model, it must have the support of its people. But people are so completely stuck in the current model, that it seems almost hopeless to wait for a cultural revolution of the people, to move beyond the mentality of "more, more, more" to "enough".
