Why Growth? We have often behaved as humans that our prime directive is growth. And where has this gotten us? The problematique clearly defines the concept of limits to growth… but what is the alternative? This presentation examines what constitutes real human values and their relationships and dependencies on the natural system. Are there also limits to wellbeing? Recent work by the Club of Rome has focused on the options. Let’s talk.
