Summary

In addition to this introduction, the dissertation consists of twelve chapters divided into three parts as well as a conclusion. The first part (Chapter 1, 2, 3, 4) explores the nature, causes, and consequences of economic growth. The second part (Chapter 5, 6, 7) is about the idea of degrowth, especially its history, theoretical foundations, and controversies. The third part (Chapters 8, 9, 10, 11, 12) is about the transition from the ideology of growth to the utopia of degrowth and what exactly could make it happen. In what follows, I providean overview of the central arguments of each part and chapter.
