People believe you need growth, but you don't and there are major problems with it.
I just read and recommend The Growth Delusion https://www.amazon.com/Growth-Delusion-Poverty-Well-Being-Nations/dp/0525572503 https://www.amazon.com/Growth-Delusion-Poverty-Well-Being-Na..., which talked about problems with growth and alternatives to its most common measure, GDP.
- erikb 9y agosince it's paid content. Does the book also talk about why people believe in it? Because that it's an illusion is not something I would need to be convinced about. I have more problems following the imperative that there always needs to be an unsustainable amount of growth and why people happily sacrifice stable huge profits just to fake a little more growth.
