Terry Leahy is a sociologist and a participant in the Australian Degrowth movement. His most recent book looks at the grassroots strategies popular in the permaculture movement: ‘The Politics of Permaculture’ (Pluto). He advocates a non monetary post-capitalism as the system that might best achieve the goals of the degrowth movement.

Debating degrowth: A response to Jason Hickel
We really believe that degrowth is a more complex, substantial and significant concept and movement than its treatment in the Hickel interview. We think that the degrowth movement has a very important role to play in the challenging political context.
