Notes
1 Fotopoulos (Citation2007) criticies Latouche for being among them.
2 Although the chief advocate for the SSE, Herman Daly, has not been eager to say so. See the critique by Richard Smith (Citation2010).
3 The notion that these elements are not optional but necessary if the new local communities are going to work well is developed below (see also Trainer Citation2010, ch. 6).
4 TSW strategy centres on building an “Economy B” underneath the existing economy (see Trainer Citation2010, ch. 12, Citation2013d).
5 Latouche (2Citation007b), for instance, discusses alternative structures but not in light of any need for very low “living standards.”
6 The most detailed statement of the case is Trainer (Citation2010).
7 Latouche (Citation2007a, Citation2007b) reflects the common Degrowth preference for grassroots participatory government but does not make clear that it is a necessary element.
