THE CONCEPT OF "ECONOMIC GROWTH" IS AN UN NATURAL IDEA. ONLY CANCERS HAVE CONTINUAL GROWTH. IN NATURE THERS IS GROWTH AND DORMANCY EACH YEAR WITH THE SEASONS. TRYING TO CREATE A SYSTEM OF CONSTANT GROWTH MAKES THE FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPAL MEANINGLESS. ENDLESS GROWTH OF MONEY, GOLD, PLANTS, ANIMALS, DISEASES, WHATEVER, WOULD RENDER THE WORLD UNLIVABLE. UNLIMITED MONEY DEVALUATES THE MONEY INTO DEVALUED NOTHINGNESS. NO ONE OBSERVES THE NATURAL PROCESS OF CYCLES OF EVERYTHING. AS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING GROWS FOR EVER. TO IMAGINE SO IS TO CREATE A FALSE PREMISE FOR EXISTANCE OF ANYTHING.
