tomado de Degrowth economics -Why less should be so much more- por Serge Latouche en Le Monde Doplimatique

If the South is to attempt to create non-growth societies, it must
rethink and re-localise. Southern countries need to escape from their
economic and cultural dependence on the North and rediscover their own
histories - interrupted by colonialism, development and globalisation -
to establish distinct indigenous cultural identities. The cultural
histories of many societies reveal inherently anti-economistic values.
These need to be revived, along with rejected or forgotten products and
traditional crafts and skills.
Insisting on growth in the South, as though it were the only way out of
the misery that growth created, can only lead to further westernisation.
