Physicist and science communicator Sabine Hossenfelder is drawing criticism for remarks about the degrowth economic movement. Critics say she misrepresented the concept and lacked a basic understanding of the economics behind it, arguing she should confine herself to physics. Supporters of degrowth are pushing back against what they see as an uninformed take on the movement.
Why now: Hossenfelder has a large following, so her critical remarks on degrowth have sparked pushback from the movement's supporters.
