Serge Latouche

Serge Latouche is a French economist and philosopher known for advocating "degrowth," a movement that challenges the idea that economic growth always leads to positive well-being. He argues that endless expansion strains the environment, increases inequalities, and diminishing returns on development. Instead, Latouche promotes simplifying lifestyles, reducing consumption, and prioritizing social and ecological health over continuous economic growth. His ideas encourage rethinking priorities to create a more sustainable and equitable society, emphasizing quality of life rather than material success.
