Where ? I see "before", not "after". > This is how degrowthers envision the process: After a reduction in material and energy consumption, which will constrict the economy, there should also be a redistribution of existing wealth, and a transition from a materialistic society to one in which the values are based on simpler lifestyles and unpaid work and activities.

And equating redistribution with communism is silly - top income tax rates in the US were the highest - around 80%-90% during MacCarthyism !
