Abstract
After a long period of supremacy for a growth-addicted paradigm, the historic rupture caused by the COVID-19 pandemic has opened a window for a potential global review of our political, economic, and social spheres. In an attempt to decouple growth and well-being, the degrowth movement is spreading – especially in the Global North – alternatives to achieving social well-being within ecological boundaries. This new perspective aims to reorient the values driving political and economic agendas and to reword them through the lenses of solidarity and care. The current unprecedented health crisis has ushered in a period of revisions and discussions about these new development concepts. Despite the negative consequences of the pandemic, then, it has successfully shown the fragility of current economic models and contributed to debates about the sort of policies advocated by degrowth. This article discusses the principles of degrowth and its connections and contributions to the current scenario.
