The "conventional capitalist" in me knows that "if your business isn't growing, it's dying." BUT... The burgeoning ecologist in me knows that our planet can't sustain perpetual economic growth.
I'm familiar with Andrew McAfee's decoupling argument. (And emotionally, I wish it was true because it's satisfying for the optimist in me) But, pragmatically, dematerialization doesn't satisfy the meta-problems I'm describing here. https://www.technologyreview.com/s/613845/the-planet-has-a-fever-and-the-cure-is-more-capitalism-a-prominent-economist-argues/ …pic.twitter.com/kTso2HLC67

A lot of unknowns, certainly :) I live with the opinion that you *choose* whether to be an optimist or a pessimist. Personally, I'm optimistic about human creativity and ingenuity. It'd be hard to live if I was a pessimist.
