I see degrowth less as an ideal to strive for and more as an inevitable outcome (we will be forced to do it, like it or not).
To do it humanely will require equitable distribution of resources and central planning. Then maybe we can get to a place where we have reasonable ecological footprints in the global north. Note this is NOT return to monke.
Of course if we continue to pursue the status quo of extractive capitalism, fossil fuel reliance etc, then we will be returning to monke, against our will.
I know this isn’t the analysis you asked for just my 2c
