The Club Of Rome And "The Limits To Growth" -- Revisited -- June 13, 2024

This is pretty cool:

• cutting down entire forests, turning that wood into wood pellets to burn, to make electricity raises the GDP substantially; leaving the forest alone, letting it grow, does nothing for GDP.
• surgeons across the United States performing bypass surgeries every day, raises the GDP substantially; preventing heart disease in the first place by health living does nothing for GDP (generally speaking).

So, there's that. 

The new book: Growth: A History and a Reckoning, David Susskind, c. 2024.

A world without growth -- at least measured by GDP -- is difficult for modern people to comprehend.

And so it goes.
