Turns out you can only plunder our life support systems to grow the economy for so long Economic activity has done so much damage now that global prosperity is certain to be reduced. A 19% decrease in GDP by 2050 is now unavoidable, due to the reckless pursuit of growth so far. The economy is going to contract whatever happens But we can minimise the damage by contracting in a planned, controlled and fair way - through #degrowth Or we can carry on destroying and let nature collapse the economy in the most horrific and brutal ways imaginable

US Economy, Innovation, & National Competitiveness 1. 27T GDP from 335M vs. 18T GDP from 1.4B 2. The innovation and dynamism of our economy is hard to beat. 3. All the more reason to be critical of FMI narratives that attack the confidence and competence we place in our economy. 4. It is no surprise inflation is the issue most care about this year given the stats. However, we should have confidence on how our openness and innovation are second to impossible to emulate or compete against.

A periodic reminder that we live in the greatest economy in the history of the world: https://lnkd.in/gSpW3aFh A few thoughts: 1. Fracking, as the article notes, has helped insulate the U.S. economy from energy shocks. We should keep fracking. 2. Investment leads to productivity growth. We have to defer something now to do better later. 3. To whom much is given, much will be required (Luke 12:48).

This is a must-read. We're using outdated economic instruments and measurements for the 21st Century. We had externalities (positive and negative) not because we didn't care but because we couldn't measure. So we simplified and constrained our models to what we could measure. But times have changed. Technology and ubiquitous sensors in the environment have expended what can be measured. Now that we an measure climate impact, clean water, clean air, social factors, they're not externalities anymore. They can be included in the larger calculation of GDP. I don't know about you but what the government and economists say about the economy doesn't foot with how people are experiencing it in their households. There's a huge disconnect that is getting wider by the minute. Government and business leaders are losing legitimacy and credibility by insisting everything is fine, "hey the graph line is going up and to the right" when everyday people find their personal economic trend line going down and to the right. We need to close this gap so the model accurately reflects and predicts the reality we're all living in today. Otherwise, it's bad data and you know what they say.. garbage in, garbage out. #gdp #carbon-adjusted-gdp #climate
