My knee-jerk reaction is "you shouldn't; we churn enough resources as it is", but if I broaden the scope of "product" to include elements of culture, for example the idea that it's okay to not have everything we want, then your question is interesting. I would promote birth-to-three (or six or seven) programs for everyone, so that children have a better chance to grow up in a nurturing environment, one in which the adults don't shout or act violently towards their children and generally minimize trauma, which I think would go a long way towards children keeping their curiosity and intellectual humility and gaining emotional awareness rather than have these good things suppressed by fear. As this increases, I would guess we'll see less capitalism, and less need to sell my cool product. The more we can do with what we have around us, including using our bodies to do more of the work of living, the better. If the land can't carry us, don't live there, at least not until it recovers. This may be a foreign concept to many? I find a sense of peace and purpose going out each day to these few acres and picking an increasingly varied collection of plants, as I learn from public library books what is edible. This is a cool product I picked up from books in childhood and have revisited and expanded during my second childhood (parenting). I'm curious to read how others respond.
