ANTI-GROWTH

This is not just a knee jerk reaction to the Truss disaster. I have been thinking about growth.

Economic growth is only worthwhile if it leads to the growth in well being. I hesitate here because I would not want to deny anyone a chance to have a better standard of living. But this needs to be weighed against the cost to the environment. It is absolutely certain that there is no need for anyone to be hungry anymore. China has lifted 400 million people out of poverty – brilliant! But at a horrific cost to the environment.
