| contents | <p>This paper analyzes Degrowth not as a moral choice about environmental protection, but as a constrained resource allocation problem. When total output is deliberately limited or reduced, the socioeconomic system is forced into severe trade-offs among four variables: citizen welfare (P), government capacity (G), short-term technological standing (S-short), and long-term sovereign potential (S-long).</p> <p>Through concrete analysis of sovereign debt, pension systems, capital flows, behavioral economics, and class structure, this paper demonstrates that Degrowth does not lead to sustainability but to social mobility freeze: the preceding generation "pulls up the ladder" after climbing it, trapping subsequent generations in a Neo-Feudal structure. The most probable endgame is the "Veniceification" of Europe — beautiful, clean, and hollowed of power.</p> |
