Why do capitalist economies need to grow?
Bill Blackwater in this gas explores the topic of capitalist economic growth
By Bill Blackwater
As part of our 'Post-Growth Project', Bill Blackwater addressed the key question "Why do capitalist economies need to grow" in a provocative essay which argues that growth is essential to capitalism and that therefore anybody who believes we need to abandon growth as a political goal must accept that this means we need to abandon capitalism.
