The subtitle (or supertitle?) says "Debunking degrowth", implying that the idea of degrowth is that no decoupling is possible and that proponents of degrowth promote negative growth as measured in GDP per capita.
From my limited understanding, degrowth actually stands for different ideas, such as:
- GDP is not a relevant measure for wellbeing
- reduced consumption can lean to higher wellbeing for the individual (reduced working hours, more time for family, gardening etc)
- worth of policy should be measured by new, more holistic criteria
