The idea that “too much” wealth/value creation is a bad thing is a bug the political left needs to patch ASAP. Sustainability matters — it’s possible to borrow against the future at a bad rate — but slow growth (or even regression) as a political aesthetic is super concerning
Stubborn Attachments by @tylercowen makes the case for growth really well, while also serving as an introduction to related philosophical disputes. Especially interesting coming to it from an Effective Altruist background, where redistribution is the focushttps://www.amazon.com/Stubborn-Attachments-Prosperous-Responsible-Individuals/dp/1732265135/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1539021315&sr=8-1&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=tyler+cowen&dpPl=1&dpID=41sgCQOmYsL&ref=plSrch …

Having read most of a draft of Stubborn Attachments, I'll say that: - Cowen's probably getting me to stop talking about degrowth - What I really need to be talking about is societal "investment"; leftists are if anything the defenders of future growth by supporting education, etc
Leftists are incredibly — incredibly — stupid on education.
Jason Brennan's new book on global justice takes also a growth angle. He says that philosophers in general indeed tend to overlook economics in their arguments, starting with Rawls.
The tail of the unintended consequences of growth is eaten by the head of information's growth.
