Here, Jeroen van de Bergh, of the University of Barcelona, reviews various studies of degrowth (warning: it's an hour-long video). Degrowth is somewhat akin to enufism, but there are differences, and we believe our model is workable and will involve far less transition pain than simple degrowth. The biggest challenge to enufism is ourselves, and our natural objections to giving anything up! So how do we get around that, and persuade ourselves to act otherwise? My instinct is
