Putin just labelled the #monetarySystem out of the #USA as a "#printingPress".
An Oof… to some.
One of our favourite books from the decade has to be '#GrowingForBroke' (2016) by the late #PeterNorth. It described how the obsession with #GDPGrowth was not only wrecking havok on #Australia's #environment and globally but also set to destroy our #economy.
We talked about it extensively, but the #growthObsession only took a breather during #COVID.

Hi Shans,If you live in #Australia, Growing For Broke (2015?) by the late Peter North is a must-read.
We speak in the language of #ConvivialSufficiency. The way we can achieve this is by "Getting #NEOeD", which may involve punching upwards at those perpetrating the #statusQuo.

#DavidAttenborough, rather.For those in #Australia, a book we cannot recommend highly enough is #GrowingForBroke by the late #PeterNorth. There is one chapter that goes through the various growth ideologies, and howthey are spread by #corporateMedia, and #thinkTanks with vested interests.
A must read.
