GROWTHISM & The Ruin Of Everywhere

In any case, wherever enclosure and factor imbalance prevail, rights of the penultimate individual, and powerful possessors of capital, will become supreme. Few community rights and majority powers are not overruled by the influence of money as powerful individuals and mega-corporations become nearly, if not completely, omnipotent in society and around the world.

In this setting, without balancing principles, ethics and forces, we are destined to grow disenfranchisement, discontent, social pathology and eco-ruin. Packed like rats into ever-shrinking cubicles, and driven to compete for capital's growth and benefit, this dismal ethic must soon collapse of its own absurdity and excess.

In the interim, growthism remains the primary force in our lives due to enclosure, capital's supremacy, the extortion of labor, and a host of western, patriarchal, religio-economic, values from an age with little relation to our own.

Kent Welton,
From the chapter on Growthism in my book,Cap-Com, The Economics Of Balance.
