Summary/Abstract: Aggregate economic growth has proved to be deeply detrimental to the environment, yet it remains an icon of mainstream economic discourse. The paper suggests that we need to start thinking instead about degrowth strategies, and looks at the concept of social enterprise from a degrowth perspective. With the central question of “what should an enterprise in today’s altered circumstances look like?”, it looks at six examples of successful current and historical social enterprises and discusses some of their strong and weak points. Finally, it attempts to identify aspects of social enterprises which make them a better choice in a future degrowth society.
