Ok, so I was reading about solarpunk and circular economy and such, and came across this. Seems pretty reasonable, but also very vaguely worded, both by Wikipedia and the Capital Institute. I don’t yet understand what they actually advocate for in terms of economic power dynamics, and I was wondering if any of you have heard of this concept before and think it’s worth reading more into it.

Ps. if you think it’s some sort of lunatic pseudo-science please let me know, that can help me keep myself safe.

    I have also encountered many of these niche economic theories. They are for the most part fine and not really pseudo-science. I just think these concepts are kind of useless (right now) because

    1. There is no political movement to implement them
    2. They are not really concrete ideas or plans
