The dossier first discusses the impact of colonialism on introducing foreign plants and thus disrupting ecosystems. Subsequently the case of the knotweed, a plant introduced from Japan to the UK and now considered a threat to biodiversity is explored. The complex economy built around the plant consisting of regulations, pesticides, experts, and landowners is then explored.

Planning beyond growth. The case for economic democracy within limits
The present working paper is dedicated to fill a void in the degrowth literature related to the aspect of planning to achieve post-growth models of societies. The authors propose a new framework that focuses on non-market forms of planning and propose multi-level planning institutions to mediate the local level with society-wide and global institutions.

Feminismo y economía para deconstruir estereotipos
Vivimos inmersos en un sistema patriarcal que moldea, normaliza y naturaliza las desigualdades existentes entre hombres y mujeres. Candelaria busca remarcar que esta desigualdad existe y se puede cuantificar, dando cuenta de ella en muchísimas situaciones cotidianas. Desde Economía Femini(s)ta echan luz sobre estos temas generando datos para que sean usados como herramienta de transformación de la realidad en la que vivimos. Candelaria Botto es Lic. en Economía de la Universidad de Buenos Aires, docente terciaria y ayudante de cátedra en la Facultad de Ciencias Económicas. A su vez, es coordinadora en Economía Femini(s)ta, una asociación civil que desde 2015 busca visibilizar la desigualdad de género para construir una sociedad igualitaria.
