Postwachstum: Geschichten „zur Senkung der Arbeitsmoral“

Abstract: Nobody knows exactly what the path towards a society beyond the industrial economy and its totalitarian consumerism would look like, not to mention what a society would look like with radically reduced levels of the utilisation of resources. For that reason it is necessary to have illustrative narratives, worth replicating, that show that a good and fair life in the mode of “more and more” is not possible – and that under the given conditions there is scope to not only change the economic and ecological conditions of work and life, but also the social conditions. So that, for example, anonymous and dependent workers in distant supplier companies can become partners to a company – or customers can mutate to co-producers. This article shows that reductive forms of economy and consumption, when understood above all as alternative practice and not only as the better practice, can have a political aspect.
