The economic crisis that began in 2008 started as a classic over-accumulation crisis brought about by several decades of neoliberal policies. Nonetheless, its triggering cause was a high rise of hydrocarbons and raw materials due to an unequal and unfair development that exceeded the limits of the Earth's product relative to demand at that time. De-growth Theory asserts that global economy surpasses the planet's carrying capacity and moves towards collapse. In order to avoid it, This theory proposes to increase activities related to human development which demand few materials and energy, to balance entitlement to production means according to criteria of technical adequacy, efficiency, sustainability, resilience, and social justice, and decrease structures of indefinite capital accumulation and activities related to mass consumption. Only that consumption seems addictive. Interaction Ritual Theory suggests that redesigning current rituals in order to increase their emotional and existential density and adequacy, and at the same time to redirect them towards sustainability can help to foster the transition to a sustainable society
