But what does it mean for an economy to degrow? This talk will present the concept of degrowth and its implications in terms of economic organization. Dr. Timoth\u00e9e Parrique will retrace the history of that controversial idea and discuss where it fits in today\u2019s ideological landscape. <\/p>\n<p>The talk will clarify common misunderstandings around the term, often associated with recession, austerity, asceticism, and authoritarianism. It will also ponder on important questions concerning the economics of degrowth: Is degrowth compatible with capitalism? Does degrowth mean the end of innovation? Can we eradicate poverty, reduce inequality, and create jobs without growth? Is economic growth necessary to maintain or improve wellbeing?<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/newsletter.sinica.edu.tw/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/2-6_1.png\" alt=\"Should Taiwan\u2019s Economy Degrow?\" width=\"951\" height=\"573\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-10366\" srcset=\"https:\/\/newsletter.sinica.edu.tw/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/2-6_1.png 951w, https:\/\/newsletter.sinica.edu.tw/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/2-6_1-300x181.png 300w, https:\/\/newsletter.sinica.edu.tw/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/2-6_1-768x463.png 768w, https:\/\/newsletter.sinica.edu.tw/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/2-6_1-440x264.png 440w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 951px) 100vw, 951px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Time: 14:30-16:30, Thursday, October 20, 2022 Website: https:\/\/farmforchange.ea.sinica.edu.tw\/Academic-Events\/Events-6 Speaker: Dr. Timoth\u00e9e Parrique (Postdoctoral Fellow, School of Economics in Lund University, Sweden) Chair: Dr. Chien-Yi Lu (Research Fellow, Institute of European and American Studies, Academia Sinica) Organizer: Farm for Change, Institute of European and American Studies, Academia Sinica Contact: Miss Lin, +886-2-3789-7222, pimei@gate.sinica.edu.tw Abstract\uff1a Since the [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":10367,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsletter.sinica.edu.tw/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10365"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsletter.sinica.edu.tw/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsletter.sinica.edu.tw/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsletter.sinica.edu.tw/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsletter.sinica.edu.tw/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10365"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/newsletter.sinica.edu.tw/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10365\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":10423,"href":"https:\/\/newsletter.sinica.edu.tw/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10365\/revisions\/10423"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsletter.sinica.edu.tw/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/10367"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsletter.sinica.edu.tw/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10365"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsletter.sinica.edu.tw/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=10365"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsletter.sinica.edu.tw/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=10365"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
