I wrote this for @openDemocracy b/c I was fed up of green growthers & degrowthers talking past each other. Those who care about environmental & economic justice on both sides of this debate are closer than they think to consensus... THREAD 1/ bit.ly/2JK0vz9
Green growth vs degrowth: are we missing the point?

Green growth vs degrowth: are we missing the point?

It’s time to stop talking past each other and unite against the real enemies of environmental justice.

It's often overlooked that linking EU funds to rule of law is a very personal threat to Viktor Orbán and his family too. In recent years, my colleagues at @direkt36 have uncovered in details how EU funds enriched the Orbáns: the father, the brother and the son-in-law. THREAD.

1/A follow-up thread on Nobel Prizes and Big Questions. Branko asks: Why don't we award prizes for economists who work on the incredibly important question of how China grew so fast? It's a very good question...

Replying to @BrankoMilan
Why has China grown for 40y is an issue that affects all those who would like to grow like China. Why did the West have a financial crisis and who spoke against the"financialization of the economy" is something that will affect future policies.
