We have what we call an economic system in which the issuance of money is controlled by private interests for profit. It is one of two monetary paradigms. Its a system that controls industry and government alike as well as the population as a whole through mass psychology delivered through mass media and schools. It is a system based on usury which has negative psychological consequences, 'Wetiko,' right? So let's not dwell on the symptoms of the disease, our message should inspire people world-around to focus on work to implement the remedy. The remedy is the other monetary paradigm, where the issuance of money is publicly (democratically) controlled and issued for the care of the general welfare of society, the people and their places. It is what the American Revolution was about, won militarily, lost monetarily. Money is more about power than economics. That is why it must be in the public trust, to help us restore the commons. Nice artistry though.
You can start with the Wikipedia page on post-growth (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post-growth#Related_organizations). This list of organizations is mostly relevant for North America, Europe and Australia, where alternatives to growth revolve around the concepts of degrowth, steady-state economy, sufficiency and voluntary simplicity. In the 'Global South', related concepts are Buen Vivir, Radical Ecological Democracy and Ubuntu.
This video is incorrectly blaming capitalism. This is the fault of our monetary system. Our fiat money is devalued at 5-6% annually, while inflation (CPI) is measured at 2-3% Our money grow/expands via new debt. (devaluing current monetary purchasing power) In order to maintain this 'growth' more and more new debts need to be issued, irregardless if income (hince asset bubbles). Inflation as measured by CPI is the increase in prices based on money floating-around not in assets aka Consumer Prices Plan B fixes this. Plan S: We should fix the system by implementing free everything for everyone.
So what type of system is more palatable? What is a better system? You bash capitalism without providing a actual solution! You also bash capitalism at the same time you benefit from capitalism. This video only exists due to capitalism. Your computer exists due to capitalism. Your “smart” phone exists due to capitalism.
I choose life. Great video.

I love these videos, the message and I agree with all of it. Where can I find out more about the alternatives mentioned at the end?

I don't think we can really adress this without addressing the burgeoning human population as well
