His doctoral thesis, ‘Property beyond Growth: Toward a Politics of Voluntary Simplicity,’ explores how the laws of property in advanced capitalist societies could be restructured to transition toward what Herman Daly calls a ‘steady-state’ economy. Developing interdisciplinary perspectives on issues of property law, degrowth economics, consumption, and sustainability, Alexander variously argues that legal, political, and economic structures will not reflect an ethics of simplicity and sufficiency until such an ethics is embraced at the socio-cultural level. He is also the founder of the Life Poets’ Simplicity Collective (www.simplicitycollective), a grass-roots network of imaginations dedicated to advancing the Voluntary Simplicity Movement in Melbourne and beyond.
