The Poverty of Growth — What Happens When Prosperity Depends on Endless Growth

Welcome to Crisis in Perception, where we examine the systems shaping our world.Author: Olivier De SchutterThis episode explores The Poverty of Growth by Olivier De Schutter as a systems-level analysis of how GDP-centered economic systems influence labor, inequality, ecological pressure, and institutional behavior.By focusing on incentive architecture rather than personalities or political tribes, the episode examines why modern economies remain structurally dependent on perpetual growth — even when that growth increasingly produces instability, exclusion, and environmental strain.📺 Watch on YouTube:👉 https://youtu.be/XwOyWN7TaZI❤️ Support on Patreon:👉 https://www.patreon.com/posts/poverty-of-why-158404960?utm_medium=clipboard_copy&utm_source=copyLink&utm_campaign=postshare_creator&utm_content=join_linkAuthor SupportIf these ideas resonate, consider reading the work yourself or borrowing it from your local library.
