Why does everbody think that 'growth' will save us from our economic woes. I say growth was a major contributor to our current situation.
Growth is bad.
Nature does not like it and neither should we.
Growth kills.
In nature, a differential equation exists that ensures that nett growth equals zero.
Example: Predatory animals need to maintain their body weight within very fine limits to avoid starvation. Too big = too slow. Too small = too weak.
In humans, for weight read wealth.
Humans think they are brighter than nature. Durrrr !
We are dinosaurs !
GDP = Greed, Desperation and Panic.
Because most people are always 'spent out' and more some, the only way to create growth is to increase the number of spenders.
The only way to increase the number of spenders is by redistributing the wealth to create a larger mass of consumers. But that in itself causes sustainability issues.
It’s about time that the mythical concept of growth was abandoned, and redistribution was implemented by governments.
Its a shame that communism happened about 100 years too early. A modern command economy producing solar cells, mass permaculture, EVs etc instead of unwanted tractors and weapons might just work.
Uh Oh !!! Hippy alert.
