FTA : "To reverse this trend of stagnating growth, we must put more capital in the hands of lower income consumers, who will then spend it on things they desire and increase GDP."
Why on earth should be reversing the trend ? Why not just accept zero-growth and organize the society accordingly ?
For the same reason I don't "just accept" that I'm going to die, or that there is no justice in the universe. I want to live longer than my parents, possibly forever. I want to impose my sense of order and justice in the world, because I don't like chaos.
I want live more comfortably than my parents and my kids more than me (and thus growth). Of course I accept anything, but why should I? Isn't being human making sure you always progress?
But you are going to die. This[1] is a very thorough walkthrough. Wanting to live longer than your parents is one thing, but "forever" is a long time. I'd go as far as to say that if you think you can live forever, you don't understand forever.
>no justice in the universe.
Justice is an idea created by humans.
Wanting to improve yourself and the world around you is a central human trait imo, but there are some things we will never completely fix. One of them is death.
