Degrowth is many things. It is, according to Vincent Liegey, spokesperson for the French Degrowth Movement, a "bomb word" that often prompts heated discussions. It is also, he went on to explain, a multidimensional, interdisciplinary field of research that seeks to deconstruct the growth paradigm. Liegey noted that although some people in some parts of the world have benefited enormously from growing economies in recent decades, many of these same people don't feel that they are living meaningful lives.
