Fear of fallowing:
The specter of a no-growth world
By Steven Stoll
Discussed in this essay:
The Age of Abundance: How Prosperity Transformed America's
Politics and
Culture, by Brink Lindsey. Collins. 394 pages. $26.95.
The Moral Consequences of Economic Growth, by Benjamin M. Friedman.
Vintage. 570 pages. $16.95 (paper).
<...>
It is interesting and heartening to note the North/West beginning to
echo, in its usual sophistication of terminology and delivery, the
basic truths (First Law of Thermodynamics?) that Gandhian primitivists
(and non-Gandhian "primitives") have wondered about for a long, long
time. Is this a sign that the [Western] Left will part ways with
techno-utopianism? I hope so!
