"The Economy of Degrowth":From Ecological Criticism to Political Criticism
"Degrowth"is an important topic in the critique of contemporary capitalism and ecological criticism.Contemporary scholars,represented by Kohei Saito,have clearly demonstrated the unsustainability of the capitalist model of economic growth and production.He reinterprets the relationship between capitalism and nature and outlines a picture of post-capitalist society with the central ideal of"the metabolism of society".The paper argues that the theory of"degrowth"correctly characterizes the crisis of capitalism,but this theory simply rejects the development of productive forces and fails to dialectically address the relationship between human finite and self-transcendence.The contemporary critique of capitalism from theory to reality still needs to draw on the revolutionary development of the productive forces and relations of production,thereby continuing to create the conditions for a non-capitalist model of social reproduction.In this sense,socialism in the 21st century always needs to respond to the general crisis of capitalism from both theoretical and practical dimensions,providing a global solution for the overall fairness and justice of society.
