A lower population would help.

Despite people's knee-jerk reactions, allowing the population to decrease doesn't have to mean anything about eugenics and economics doesn't require growth. On the contrary, growth and even staying at current levels have many problems.

The belief that we need to grow is carrying us toward disaster.

More than just belief, it is how the pension system works.

We need to think about an alternative to it.
