The Poverty of Growth — What Happens When Prosperity Depends on Endless Growth
Welcome to Crisis in Perception, where we examine the systems shaping our world.
Author: Olivier De Schutter
This episode explores The Poverty of Growth by Olivier De Schutter as a systems-level analysis of how GDP-centered economic systems influence labor, inequality, ecological pressure, and institutional behavior.
By focusing on incentive architecture rather than personalities or political tribes, the episode examines why modern economies remain structurally dependent on perpetual growth — even when that growth increasingly produces instability, exclusion, and environmental strain.
