Why do we need growth for that? Wouldn't redirecting wasted resources do just fine?

  That will get you some. Growth will get you more, faster.

    Not really. If everyone worked one day a week less, and used that day to exercise, we would have lower productivity and better health.

      If everyone worked one day a week less, and used that day to exercise, and put the other four days into continuing to grow the economy, we'd be better off still.

        when its only the 0.1% that see any benefit in that growth, why bother? The point obviously was to compare like for like.
