1. The document discusses moving away from prioritizing economic growth and instead managing economies with slower or no growth in a sustainable way.
2. It argues that the economy is a subsystem of the biosphere and that the current scale and intensity of the economy places an excessive burden on the environment.
3. While technology can help reduce this impact, changes are also needed to address the scale of resource use and production, as well as growing inequality between rich and poor countries. The document presents some scenarios and policies for managing economies without continuous growth.
The Green New Deal is designed to convert the grey economy into an “environmentally sound, economically viable and socially responsible” sustainable economy. Yet, the Green New Deal has not been so welcomed due to its “unrealistic” socio-economic program and it is left to be seen whether its realization will be achieved.

Speaking to a crowd of more than 1,000 students and other members of the University of Texas at Austin community, Dean Tom Gilligan used colorful charts and detailed graphs to explore trends in prosperity and poverty around the world. He explained how gross domestic product (GDP) is used as a measurement tool, how “real GDP” and “GDP per capita” are calculated, and how these figures are used to compare economies across regions, across populations and across the world.
Can humanity achieve a sustainable balance within our closed ecosystem, or have we reached the point where that vision is just another example of the hubris of human exceptionalism? Is it time to switch our focus from sustainability to one of resilience in the face of societal collapse and industrial decline?

Can perpetual growth be created in a closed system? Can technology, politics or markets make perpetual growth happen? What happens when growth is unconstrained? Can growth be uneconomic? Is the pursuit of growth as an end the sign of a purposeless society?
The Economics of Kindness: The End of Capitalism and the Birth of a New Cooperative Economy.
Today’s economy has become for many a kindness-free zone, in which most of the benefits go to the rich, while others suffer, and nature is assaulted.
Capitalism is based on the competitive pursuit of self- interest, but a new economy is emerging to replace it, based on cooperation and kindness. It is being built in cities and on farms, in new kinds of business and banking, and in new approaches to work.
Guy Dauncey is a futurist who works to develop a positive vision of a sustainable future, and to translate that vision into action.

In a May 9, 2024 paper, Juri Opitz from the University of Zurich, along with Shira Wein and Nathan Schneider form Georgetown University, discussed the importance of linguistic expertise in natural language processing (NLP) in an era dominated by large language models (LLMs).
The authors explained that while machine translation (MT) previously relied heavily on linguists, the landscape has shifted. “Linguistics is no longer front and center in the way we build NLP systems,” they said. With the emergence of LLMs, which can generate fluent text without the need for specialized modules to handle grammar or semantic coherence, the need for linguistic expertise in NLP is being questioned.

Instead of trying to dominate nature, we must learn to live within its limits. To do so will require changes in our most cherished institutions and beliefs.
