Initially the Promethean thread drew me in and you almost dragged it too far, for me anyway, I almost put the read down. However, the mention of degrowth gripped my attention and made me read on. I know a bit about degrowth and the post growth discourses and they are intriguing and not only intriguing, I predict they will become more mainstream in the short to mid term future and in the long term will dictate pace and influence the political order of the day. I'm currently writing a comparative essay on sustainability, with the environmental pillar as the primary focus, and the approach will be climate proofing mitigation measures, aka GHG mitigation via (EMS's) environmental management systems, (WtE) waste to energy systems and (LEB's) low energy buildings. The comparison will explore all of the above in Gothenburg city and Singapore city state.
Degrowth, although not a primary concern in the essay will be mentioned as an alternative to the growth machine doctrine of capitalism within the neoliberal political economy franchise, Lorded over by the owners of FINCAP.
Well written and measured to keep the reader engaged, although only, and I say this, not in a snobbish or arrogant way but with the broad reader who is familiar with Greek mythology and enjoy's the myths and their protagonists. Degrowth is unlikely to be constrained as Prometheus in the short term, however considering forethought, as degrowth clearly is, will inevitably be adopted by forethought and those that do not posses this ability will eventually be compelled to do so.
I'm going to share this on my social media, thanks for the engaging and interesting read.
