Can't say I subscribe to any great panic over this. Endless growth capitalism is destroying the planet. It'll be challenging coming up with another economic model, but we can do it.

@timrichards Can't access that article (not complaining!) but have done a short course in Modern Monetary Theory (degrowth) and Doughnut Economics (justice, equity, climate friendly). Highly recommend. If the whole world adopted these strategies we'd possibly save ourselves from environmental collapse, but it's a big IF.

@sister_ratched Yes I think we'll have to bite the bullet at some point. Endless growth is killing us.
