Degrowth

You're both right. Degrowth has poor optics. But that's mainly because growth has been the subject of centuries of positive branding. By contrast, in a medical context the term is anything but positive.

One interesting anecdote that I learned from Tim Jackson's book: Keynes himself saw growth as a vehicle to a destination. In other words, time-limited, and to be replaced by another goal once it had done its job.
