In reply, one question: "Is your population growing?"

If your population is growing and your economy isn't, somebody is having problems.

This would be true if we didn't account for the extreme inequality of the system.

For instance the richest 1 percent more than double the emissions of the poorest half of humanity [1].

We can have prosperity without growth, and we cannot have infinite growth in a finite planet.

That's actually a separate problem. Or rather, two separate problems: Inequality of growth, and externalized costs of growth.
