Unless there's a global GDP graph showing the same, we're not decoupled.
Or, you could say, we're in an era of weak decoupling where high-tail QoL can be marginally improved without negative env. externalities. That isnt "strong decoupling" where the bulk of QoL improvements around the world lie.
We're interested in GDP growth because it's highly correlated with QoL. Rich-world marginal QoL improvements aren't interesting, nor is their alleged decoupling.
The economist here says the world can get rich from services... er, No. For 80% of the population they dont need more services to improve QoL.
