In "The political economy of degrowth", Timothée Parrique synthesised the economics of degrowth in 15 principles (pp. 316-317 in https://theses.hal.science/tel-02499463/document).

The other six are:

- Resource sovereignty: Be a steward of nature.
-Convivial tools: Technology as a tool, not a master.
- Value sovereignty: Wealth is nothing but stories.
- Commons: Decide together.
- Gratuity: Communities instead of commodities.
- Voluntary simplicity: Outwardly simple, inwardly rich.
