Absztrakt (kivonat)

The essence of our current socio-economic system is economic growth which is also presently the most important economic and political objective. The vast majority of economists, political and economic leaders consider the GDP growth as the main solution for social problems, and as the main source of long term economic development and „universal welfare”. Due to rapid economic growth developed countries are able to provide higher standards of service to their population as long as the developing countries continue to struggle to achieve the living standards of welfare states. Economic growth, however, conceals several self-contradictions by causing an increase in inequalities, pollution and concentrated usage of resources in an increasingly intensive way. In the result of my study I reveal that - contrary to the prevailing public opinion - economic growth does not lead to long-term economic prosperity because growth has ecological limits. As many scientists (e.g. the members of Club o f Rome with their reports) have already demonstrated the natural resources are finite and the ecological footprint of humanity has already overshot the biocapacity of the Earth. In the long run economic growth with the rapid increase of resource usage and pollution does not lead to wealth but it causes natural disasters and social conflicts, through which even the satisfaction of basic needs of humanity are called into question. The current system is unsustainable and threatens to collapse. In my thesis beyond the introduction of the components of the contradictions and unsustainability I seek for possible solutions examining whether there may be another way of development than economic growth. As a result of the above mentioned, I outline the degrowth alternative (based on the book of Serge Latouche: Little treatise on serene degrowth) which can provide a solution for the current social problems and can be a way out from the threatening ecological crisis. The base of the concept formed by value changes, frugality, reduction of production and consumption, economic and energy relocalization as well as changeover to renewable energy sources and recycling. By studying many alternatives and movements around this concept I consider the degrowth vision a possible path for a social and a global economic system to evolve, which is foremost, sustainable on long term, livable and consists of smaller communities open to the world who live in harmony with nature and manage resources in a wise way.
