Can we count on it?, that we are assured of unbroken economic growth in the future? Ecological and political crises are increasingly questioning the idea of sustainable economic growth. Not just economic, but also welfare state institutions are dependent on economic growth, That's why a recession is usually followed by a social crisis.
Can we escape this dilemma?? Can we redesign social security systems like this?, that we can count on a pension and health insurance even in times of no growth?

The lecture is part of the series "Grown firmly - ways out of the dependence on growth”:
For some it is inevitable for social prosperity, for the others, it inevitably leads to ecological crises.
But there really is no alternative to economic growth? What do we have to gain and what to lose, if we want to make ourselves independent of growth? And which paths could lead to the path of a post-growth society?
