Economic growth to what end? Regardless of whether the state’s means are to be justified by their ends, the Machiavellian problem becomes one in which the means and their measure become ends within themselves. Thus, we have growth not for the greater good, but growth regardless of for what or for whom.

If free-market growth were to occur biologically within our body, we would call it malignancy and either attempt to control it or get rid of it altogether. From a perspective of Mother Nature, we humans could be considered the pathogens that she would pluck from planet Earth and send to the land fill, or mutate into beneficial elements that have self control.

Oh, so Mother Nature, like Santa Claus and the Tooth Fairy, is but an invention of our imagination, however the Good Earth is not and we best attempt to keep it that way.
