Décroiscience

To the priests of scientific faith who see science as the answer to every problem, its most radical critics reply by calling for the end of all research. Steering clear of both extremes, the author—passionate about rational inquiry and devoted to science—examines the dysfunctions of contemporary research and its subjection to the dictates of capitalism and power politics. He calls for the restoration of democracy in scientific decisions and goals. His conclusion is clear: there can be no degrowth without de-science.
