Current economic dogma says you must have growth around 3% per year for a
healthy economy. Nobody knows how to do it with much less without having
unacceptable unemployment. Thus the current model condemns us to be
constantly expanding: population, energy use, mineral use, land use, must
all
grow indefinitely. Except that obviously in the real world they cannot.

Political systems around the world that reward short term popularity and
punish long term planning don't help.

we know that the current model doesn't help - it's getting the beancounters
& other bottom-feeders to accept that is the problem. the first world govt
to actively remake the situation is going to be everyone's hero.

of course, most govts that have a great idea are invaded by the u.s. &
crushed for the next 50 years ;-)
