Do people support the core idea of degrowth? A recent paper we published show the majority do.

Important (hopeful!) new research by @krpd.bsky.social finds, after reading a 3-5 minute explanation of an alternative approach to assessing & managing the economy--called "degrowth" or the "wellbeing economy"--large majorities of Americans and Brits support the concept. @courtghoward.bsky.social

I'm excited to announce this new study, published in The Lancet Planetary Health, which explores public support for degrowth and ecosocialist transformation. The findings are quite surprising.

New paper out in The Lancet Planetary Health on public support for degrowth in the UK & US 🌍📊

Once people understand what Degrowth is, the majority support it (74–84% in the UK and 67–73% in the US), regardless of the label. See our new research in @thelancet.com www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...

Powerful finding in this concise & punchy report. Over 90% of UK business professionals surveyed believe businesses should align with the principles of Doughnut Economics - but most massively underestimate how many of their peers also do. @jenimiles.bsky.social www.jenimiles.com/research/pos...

Postgrowth businesses prioritize wellbeing over profit, use democratic governance, adopt collective ownership models, and rely on non-extractive finance. In this report, we for the first time investigate professionals’ views on postgrowth business practices.

There are physical limits to growth — and whether we like it or not, we’ll need to learn to live in post-growth societies. We urge psychological and behavioural scientists to study this important topic and suggest ways to develop an integrated research agenda.

A call for precision in the study of behaviour and decision - Nature Human Behaviour

Behavioral and decision scientists, by definition, study behavior and decision, but rarely define these concepts. A Comment by Krpan et al. calls for precise definitions of these concepts. @bfasolo.bsky.social
