Yes, it can, if we keep being ambitious as a species. I believe we did not even touch the real potential so far. There is an entire Universe out there, incredibly hard problems not yet solved (i.e. aging), are we really saying that this is it? I believe not, so economic growth will not only last, but it will be even higher if keep pushing our limits.
- emodendroket 11y agoWhat makes you so confident? The author does address the idea that somehow technology might fix our problems.
- kfk 11y agoThe fact that growth is really the only way. If you think about it, everything we achieved has been through growth (i.e. how China managed to bring millions from below the poverty line in few decades). We face enormous challenges (i.e. 7 billion people on the planet), without growth we are pretty much doomed. So, it's not so much about confidence, I think is rather hope for us as a species.
- emodendroket 11y agoWell if growth is both the only way and unsustainable then I guess we're in trouble.
