Abstract:
The crisis in the last decade has led to a wide economic transition, raising the question of whether the South of Europe can be understood as a kind of a ‘post-growth’ society. The research has two aims. First, it examines how the economic crisis has been discussed within the post-growth debate and focuses on three views. Second, the article examines how ideas and projects with a post-growth orientation have influenced specific social initiatives born out of the crisis period. It is observed that past strategies of social reproduction are either unavailable (the pre-crisis finance-led growth model) or no longer equally effective (the familistic social model) and fiscal discipline remains, the search for other alternatives did not actually extend as was expected, due to some new growth opportunities. The proposed social initiatives did not manage to consolidate more permanent structures of social action that could successfully challenge the neoliberal agenda.
