Thanks for the interesting interview. A steady state economy and simple living seem inextricably connected. The Limits to Growth was required reading for one of my economics courses back in the 70's. Even though none of the predictions for social, economic, or populations crashes came to be within the timeline I recall from the book, it still makes good sense to me. I can believe the we can prosper in a steady state, but I can't quite imagine convincing the managers of the nation's global corporations of that.

Sometimes I think mankind will get along as things are with the concept that growth is good, that science will continue to find ways to feed us and find alternate fuels. At least for those of us lucky to live in developed countries. But I can't see it having a good effect on the environment. I enjoyed the interview comments about the Sierra Club in that respect.
