We’re in a Low-Growth World. How Did We Get Here?
Growth as a result of consumption is destructive.  We need to find ways to &#x27;grow&#x27; our economy without increasing consumption.  For example, measure growth by how people are becoming more educated.  If people could live healthily and intelligent and only work 10 hours a week until they were 100, wouldn&#x27;t that be better than being able to buy a new car every year?   Or a 5000sq house with the latest big screen tv?<p>I believe (or rather, I pray) that we have hit peak consumption which will lead to this problem forevermore.  We need to find new ways to improve ourselves than shopping more.
