The word “growth” has such positive connotations that we seldom stop to
consider its economic implications. Humans and animals grow, yes, but
they don’t grow forever: they reach maturity, and they maintain a steady
size thereafter, Hickel points out. “It is astonishing, when you think
about it, that the dominant belief in economics holds that no matter how
rich a country has become, their GDP should keep rising, year after
year, with no identifiable end point,” Hickel writes.
