I would not have heard about this but for my "degrowth" RSS feed: Scientists in France, Netherlands, Mexico, and elsewhere did banner drops, postering, vandalism, and protests this past Saturday. Their message:

"The belief that economic growth is essential for our well-being is a myth that mainly serves the interests of a wealthy few. Instead of endlessly increasing production, we should focus on producing what is truly essential for everyone’s well-being and ensuring fair distribution."

That's #Degrowth in a nutshell.

Meanwhile, articles with titles like "The 'Degrowth' Mentality Promises a World of Poverty and Misery" by Steven Greenhut get published over and over again, from Reason to AOL to MSN. Greenhut is, from the perspective of either economics or ecology, basically a rando. His degrees are in political science and journalism. He's a lobbyist who only qualification is an ideological commitment to "free markets".
