Seems like the idea is to minimize consumption in a finite world.
- akhosravian 3y agoWhile the world’s resources are finite I think it is excessively pessimistic to suggest we’re consuming anywhere near all that is available to us. It’s possible to call out externalized costs (eg greenhouse emissions, many plastics) and be optimistic about our ability, as a species, to produce more.
- Aloisius 3y agoGDP is a measure of value produced. An increase in GDP does not require an increase in consumption of finite materials.
