Degrowth Group Assembly Process

Money and Finance

About

Working group formed for the International Conference on Degrowth 2014.

What monetary system do we need in a degrowth economy?

Does a degrowth economy need financial markets, and if so, which ones? What forms of investments are needed and how could they be organized?

How does a democratic control of the monetary system and the financial markets and investments look like?
