this is like monty python sketch. Debate? where is the voice from the other side? Like somebody that would argue that if you dont produce anything you will be hungry. Not this participants of beyond growth conference. They all earn more than 100 000 euros per year.

A person who is ideologically political can still be involved in the advancement of science, which is why science can't totally be separated from politics.

Naïve and precious nonsense. Did any of them explain what an economy with zero or near-zero growth - much less "degrowth" - would look like? How would it work? I've always been befuddled by the assumption of traditional economics that growth is always necessary. I've never found a decent and honest explanation of why growth is necessary, or how we could do without it. After viewing this video, I feel that I still haven't heard one. Jingoistic nonsense.
