An economy based on growth in a limited environment doesn’t work.

Economists? The same people who got us into this mess? No thank you. We're going back to barter. Currency was a mistake.

I think the article is worth a read. These authors are academics who are encouraging politicians to consider alternatives to capitalism and alternatives to growth. Jason Hickel for instance is awesome. Listen to an interview or two of his and you might find that he has a talent for putting to words what we've all been thinking.
