“Voler salvare l'occupazione a tutti i costi [...] sta a indicare nella maggior parte dei casi un attaccamento viscerale, conscio o inconscio, alla società lavorista. Invece non si tratta di salvare questa società, ma di uscirne.”
― Serge Latouche, Breve trattato sulla decrescita serena

“[...] non basta mettere in discussione il capitalismo, bisogna contestare ogni società della crescita. [...]
Contestare la società della crescira implica la messa in discussione del capitalismo, ma l'inverso non è automatico.”
― Serge Latouche, Breve trattato sulla decrescita serena
