Buckminster Fuller wrote about true wealth, which meant taking care of the needs of people, not accumulation of cash. It is humans destiny, provided we dont kill ourselves first.

Maybe this is what Trump's going for.

Of course we could, but that wouldn’t grossly enrich like 5 middle aged white guys so it won’t ever happen on a global or even national scale.

Only if we can eat the rich.

We have no Choice, we need to go back to be one with nature or nature will just get rid of us. Nature never loses. We will have an economy for the few & perish or have an economy for everyone & bring down borders. The notion of nation & borders are fairly recent in human history.

It's starting to be done in European countries.

We most certainly can & absolutely must yet we continue not to. Power exists to secure the accumulation of private wealth above all else. Power doesn’t tolerate barriers to growth & will only do so by some force that we have little time left to bring forth.

Yes, but a lot of the decision makers are idiots who think endless growth isn't a myth.

Limits to Growth took a long time to stick, but I'm so glad that the field of ecological economics is growing in visibility
