The idea of a “circular economy” aims at reducing the use of natural resources by considering products from “cradle to cradle”, making the recycling and reuse of materials a basic principle of economic life. It is connected to the turn away from economic growth, traditionally understood, as aim of the economy, as discussed in the “degrowth” or “postgrowth” literature. What do these new models mean for work? Can work also be “circular”? What can one learn from non-traditional economic models, such as alternative forms of agriculture, about work that has left the growth mindset? Can work in a degrowth world still allow for personal growth and development, and how could a transition to such forms of work take place in different economic, cultural, and political contexts?
