Why do we need an alternative system? All we need to do is understand (for a change) that constant growth and expansion beyond that of population growth is not necessary or desireable.
I cannot fathom that when so many spend so much of their lives standing in line, enduring long commutes, sitting virtually still on clogged roads, trying to find a 7 x 4 space on the beach, etc., that they can't or aren't willing to put 2 and 2 together.
There are these things called limits and finite quantities. Forget about material resources for a moment and just consider all the B.S. we have created for ourselves as far as our living spaces. Do people really truly enjoy the chaos and cacaphony of being packed closely together? Do they prefer that over a bit of space and a bit of quietude? Really? Sure looks that way. Guess I'm the oddball.
