"If Samuelson’s book has one take-home message, it’s that societies must promote economic growth now and for all time. With growth, we are all better off. Without growth, we cannot afford to help the poor or to clean up the environment. We must get richer by pumping more oil, mining more ore, chopping more trees, consuming more widgets, so that we have new wealth to tackle climate change from burning more oil, to restore habitat damaged by logging, to help people displaced and poisoned by mining, to dispose of broken widgets. Welcome to the growth treadmill."
I think you should all take a look at this.
