ABSTRACT
This chapter focuses on the cultural, ontological and psychosocial dimensions of (economic) education that are fundamentally connected with the social and political realm. In that perspective it prioritizes the level of didactics without ignoring the intrinsic nexus to content. The emphasis of the chapter lies on carving out the contours of an education for social-ecological transformation based on a theory-driven analysis. This analysis is largely based on the degrowth discourse. Although the contours of an education for social-ecological transformation are formulated regarding education in general, throughout the chapter I explicitly stress why this is highly important for the teaching of economics and economic education.
