The value of sacrifice in (post-)growth scenarios

Sažetak
This is a conceptual paper, which contributes to the debate on
the measure of intergenerational sacrifice and advances a postgrowth theoretical framework that becomes intelligible within a
wider space of deliberation, at once economic, social, and moral.
We explore the three-pronged argument in two parts. First, we
examine the implications of the socio-economic mechanism of
the transition of the production mode from extractive to generative, which is envisaged to replace the market automatic response
by allocative efficiency. A second part tackles the moral reason
underlying decision-making. Drawing on the lessons of the postgrowth debate, we propose and defend a working definition of
the moral reason of intergenerational justice that should also
underpin our rationalizing about other issues of similar importance regarding the obligations we owe to future people, such as
passing on languages or containing epidemics.
