Marxism and Degrowth with Terry Leahy

  • New International Book Shop 54 Victoria Street Carlton, VIC, 3053 Australia (map)

Join Dr Terry Leahy for his discussion of 'Degrowth and Marxism'' at NIBS on the 1st of July at 5:30pm.

The discussion will focus on the relationship that the degrowth movement has to eco-socialism and to Marxism more broadly, understanding capitalism's growth as an environmental problem and how degrowth theory and practice is open to be taken up by people with a variety of alternative post capitalist systems in mind - such as gift economy, radical reformism and eco-socialism.

Dr Terry Leahy is a leading voice in Naarm's degrowth movement, and has written extensively about degrowth, system change and permaculture. He is currently the host of the 'System Change Made Simple' podcast. His most recent book is 'The Politics of Permaculture' (2022) published by Pluto Press.
