Agent Smith's monologue from The Matrix comes to mind (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hp2adrUaiyI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hp2adrUaiyI) Maybe I'm wrong here, but I'm afraid that shifts towards sustainability in developed parts of the world can only lead to less growth _in those parts of the world_. There will always be a buyer in a less developed country that will keep a less sustainable economy going. And the less-developed world is growing. Efforts towards sustainability are neccessary for reasons too obvious to mention, but ongoing growth does seems inevitable.
