job

Muraca is now doing research at the DFG-funded post growth college at the University of Jena . The starting point of this work is that economic growth in industrial societies is no longer a matter of course. She assumes that the fixation on unconditional growth exacerbates the crises and therefore examines the question of whether the stability of our societies decreases when there is less growth. And: how can stability be achieved beyond growth?
