Growth advocates usually resort to science, technology and, above all, to innovation to claim that endless economic growth is not only needed and desirable but also materially feasible. Science is often invoked as the source of a progress which, through the salvific role of technology, has the potential to stretch planetary limits and avoid environmental disaster. According to Science and Technology and Society (STS) scholars, science and technology are, however, socially constructed in a way that reflects the dominant values and worldviews of the context in which they emerge. In this article, we argue that present modes of science and technology development are built on the questionable assumption that economic growth is always good and desirable. In order to imagine a post-growth world, we also need to re-imagine the role of science and technology in society.
