Intermediate French Podcast with Transcript.


Learn French in Context with these Fascinating Topics.


Economic growth has been our governments’ main concern for
decades now. Capitalism needs it to survive and, by
extension, we need it to keep living comfortably. Or so we
believe.


Since the 70’s, a large number of economists,
environmentalists and experts from various fields have warned us
about the negative consequences of economic growth, not only on
our planet but also on our personal lives.


“Degrowth” has appeared as an alternative in order to create a
more sustainable model. But what does it mean exactly? Should we
all sell our cars, our houses, and start living in the forest? Or
are there some more approachable ways of reducing our negative
impact and finding our on path?


This podcast is designed for intermediate French learners who
want to get a better grasp of the language by listening to
interesting topics.
