Philo aux Bains with Timothée Parrique: Degrowth – a myth?

Often misunderstood, degrowth advocates for solidarity and simplicity. What does “living better with less” really mean? What changes does it demand for our lifestyles, values, and economy? To explore these questions, the Bains des Pâquis welcomes Timothée Parrique, economist and leading author on the subject. His seminal work, Ralentir ou périr: l’économie de la décroissance, challenges our obsession with GDP and calls for a profound transformation of our relationship with consumption, work, and nature. In his words, “Degrowth isn’t recession—it’s an invitation to rethink what makes a good life and a sustainable society.”
