10 pomysłów na życie bez wzrostu

The text outlines a degrowth-based policy framework consisting of ten proposals to decouple social well-being from economic growth. These include debt audits, work-sharing, a guaranteed basic income with a maximum income cap, green tax reforms, and the replacement of GDP with quality-of-life metrics. The authors argue that these measures, implemented as a package, can create a green economy and maintain social security even in a scenario where the economy ceases to grow.

• The authors propose a comprehensive ten-point program based on degrowth theory, designed for the Spanish and Catalan contexts but adaptable for other European left-wing and eco-political parties.
• Economic and social stability should be achieved through a combination of a guaranteed unconditional basic income of 400 to 600 euros per month for residents of Spain and a maximum income cap set at 30 times the basic income (12,000-18,000 euros monthly).
• A green tax reform is advocated to shift the tax burden from labor to energy and resource consumption, including a carbon tax and a 90% tax rate for the highest incomes to curb conspicuous consumption and financial speculation.
• The proposal calls for the total elimination of public subsidies and investments in high-pollution activities, such as private transport infrastructure (roads, airports), military technologies, and fossil fuels, redirecting these funds toward public spaces, public transport, and locally controlled renewable energy.
• To ensure ecological sustainability, the document suggests implementing decreasing limits on greenhouse gas emissions and raw material consumption for Spain, including materials in imported products from the Global South.
• The authors argue for the abandonment of GDP as a measure of economic progress, suggesting a shift toward metrics focused on the quality of life.
