The collection of Think Pieces was compiled after the international research seminar Let’s Talk: Debt meets Degrowth organized by EnaBanda this June in Ljubljana. The edition is a selection of writings by guest speakers who addressed one of the three topics – (il)legitimate debt, housing and new politics – in terms of debt and degrowth. The idea of the workshop Let’s Talk: Debt Meets Degrowth was to bring closer together two interlinked (international) communities, one working on debt and the other on degrowth, that share the same policy agenda, but had not had many opportunities to advance their common strategic debates.
Many conferences and debates on debt or degrowth have taken place, but without sufficient communication and collaboration between the two communities. To build on this momentum and bring cooperation to a new, stronger and more creative level, we therefore invited actors from the debt and degrowth movements to come together and talk, share their understanding of ongoing work, exchange their experience in political and social organizing and, most importantly, discuss possibilities for collaboration.
