On Wednesday February 13 at 11 am in IPE’s office we’ll be holding a seminar on degrowth in the Global South and Southeast Europe. The European perspective will be presented by Mladen Domazet, while Gabriel Trettel Silva, a degrowther from Brazil, will introduce us to the South American experience.
Join us!
