Any society and/or economy based on growth is doomed to failure. The planet is not growing, so the human population and development cannot endlessly grow. A completely different economic and population paradigm, NOT based on growth, is essential to avoid the otherwise inevitable collapses.
Why is this important?
The Earth has finite resources. It cannot support endless growth of any kind. A completely new, sustainable path for humans must be followed or economic, social, and population crashes are inevitable.
