Center for the Advancement of the Steady State Economy

What is economic growth?

Why is economic growth a threat to the environment?

Why is economic growth a threat to economic sustainability, national security, and international stability?

Can't technology alleviate the threat of economic growth?

Can't the economy continue growing for quite a while without bumping up against ecological limits?

Can't "green growth" allow the economy to continue growing without causing harm?

Can't we continue growing the economy indefinitely as we transition to an information economy?

Why should we emphasize the phrase "economic growth" in discussions on the environment and national security?

What would a steady state economy look like?

Would we have to give up individual freedoms in a steady state economy?

What is the CASSE position on economic growth?

How can I help?

Quotes

"An error does not become truth by reason of multiplied propagation, nor does truth become error because nobody sees it."

- Gandhi

“When plunder becomes a way of life for a group of men living together in society, they create for themselves, in the course of time, a legal system that authorizes it and a moral code that glorifies it.”

- Frédéric Bastiat

How the Media Frames Political Issues

In The Emergence of American Political Issues (1977) McCombs and Shaw state that the most important effect of the mass media is "its ability to mentally order and organize our world for us. In short, the mass media may not be successful in telling us what to think, but they are stunningly successful in telling us what to think about."[13] The presidential observer Theodore White corroborates this conclusion in The Making of a President (1972):

The power of the press in America is a primordial one. It sets the agenda of public discussion; and this sweeping political power is unrestrained by any law. It determines what people will talk and think about - an authority that in other nations is reserved for tyrants, priests, parties and mandarins.[14]

McCombs and Shaw also note that the media's tendency to structure voters' perceptions of political reality in effect constitutes a bias: "to a considerable degree the art of politics in a democracy is the art of determining which issue dimensions are of major interest to the public or can be made salient in order to win public support."[15]
