When I was taught that economies had to keep growing or face a spiraling collapse, I had questions. Under capitalism, economic success demands growth in production and consumption, but the laws of nature say that matter can’t be created or destroyed. Reading Beyond the Limits by Dennis and Donella Meadows and Jørgen Randers confirmed my suspicion that economic growth only “works” in the short term. This was the beginning of my search for economic models that made more sense, including localization, cradle to cradle, steady state, circular economies, biomimicry, and donut economics. These are the questions we’re excited to explore as we reconsider what it means to grow—both within and beyond YES!
