I really have not come across academic “degrowthers” that claim that we need to have fewer people or less prosperity (Kallis, Hickel, Raworth, Jackson, Van den bergh). In any case, in the post I deliberately spoke about to “degrowth the economy in rich countries”, not about degrowth in general or (any group of) degrowthers to try avoid these kinds of misunderstandings.

I forgot to ask you who are those “degrowthers” that you refer to. I never came across them. Could you please give me a couple of names?
