Grinevald & Co.[edit]
In continental Europe, Georgescu and his work gained influence from the 1970s. When Georgescu delivered a lecture at the University of Geneva in 1974, he made a lasting impression on French historian and philosopher Jacques Grinevald.[2]: 15f The ensuing cooperation and friendship between the two resulted in the French translation of a selection of Georgescu's articles entitled Demain la décroissance: Entropie – Écologie – Économie ('Tomorrow, the Decline: Entropy – Ecology – Economy'), published in 1979.[3] [note 1] Similar to his involvement with the Club of Rome (see above), Georgescu's pointed and polemical article on Energy and Economic Myths came to play a crucial role in the dissemination of his views among the later followers of the degrowth movement.[4] [5]: 544 In the 1980s, Georgescu met and befriended Catalan agricultural economist and historian of economic thought Juan Martínez-Alier, who would soon after become a driving force in the formation of both the International Society for Ecological Economics and the degrowth movement.[6]: 307–310 [7]: 2 Since the degrowth movement formed in France and Italy in the early 2000s, leading French champion of the movement Serge Latouche has credited Georgescu for being a 'main theoretical source of degrowth.'[8]: 13–16 Likewise, Italian degrowth theorist Mauro Bonaiuti has stated that Georgescu's work is considered 'one of the analytical cornerstones of the degrowth perspective.'[9]: xi

- ^ The translation of the French term décroissance has developed over time. An account of the politics and semantics involved in the development is provided here.
