Abstract: 
The present paper offers a systemic literature review on the concept of degrowth by envisioning its impact on democracy. In so doing it first uses the methodology called SPIDER by building on a number of relevant literatures derived from Scopus. Second, it introduces a variety of degrowth concepts by starting from a narrow view to degrowth and then by transcending the available literature by highlighting the fact that degrowth-like thinking has long-standing and deeper interdisciplinary roots, that have been mainly neglected by degrowth-literature, in fields ranging from evolutionary biology, happiness research, to systems theory of living systems as well as to neuroscience. The very existence of degrowth concepts is in itself an argument for pluralism, for the possibility of a liberal and democratic transition.
