Infinite economic growth is meaningless.

Infinite economic growth is meaningless.
- dappermanneke 3y agothis slogan is meaningless. economic growth is pretty meaningful and material for me - it means a possibility of retirement for me, a world with jobs, comfort and prosperity for my children. there are plenty of countries on this earth that will let you in to experience their lack of economic growth if you want to see what the alternative is like
- bluescrn 3y agoIt used to seem obvious that infinite economic growth on a finite planet was impossible. But after watching the money-printing and inflation of the last few years, maybe the numbers really can keep on rising forever even if meaningful economic activity doesn't increase.
