I wonder if the same logic could be transferred to other parts of the economy. Mutual disarmament for the amount of “growth”, for the amount of consumption, for the working hours, etc. I feel that people would be much more eager to cut back on some things if they knew that they would not be outcompeted into dirt if they did so.
