Muy interesante el post. Tal vez os gustaría leer el Libro "The enigma of Capital" de David Harvey, en el cual explica muy bien el tema de la insostenibilidad del modelo económico actual en donde debe existir un crecimiento constante para que no existan recesiones, pero esto sólo conduce a la depredación del planeta y a la polarización de clases.
De hecho ahora que recuerdo también el economista Schumacher en su libro "Lo pequeño es hermoso", ya advertía de esta situación, y eso fue en 1973.

The economy we have today will let you chow down on a supersize McBurger, check derivative prices on your latest smartphone, and drive your giant SUV down the block to buy a McMansion on hypercredit. It's a vision of the good life that I call (a tiny gnat standing on the shoulders of the great Amartya Sen) hedonic opulence. And it's a conception built in and for the industrial age: about having more. Now consider a different vision: maybe crafting a fine meal, to be accompanied by local, award-winning microbrewed beer your friends have brought over, and then walking back to the studio where you're designing a building whose goal is nothing less than rivaling the Sagrada Familia. That's an alternate vision, one I call eudaimonic prosperity, and it's about living meaningfully well. Its purpose is not merely passive, slack-jawed "consuming" but living: doing, achieving, fulfilling, becoming, inspiring, transcending, creating, accomplishing — all the stuff that matters the most. See the difference? Opulence is Donald Trump. Eudaimonia is the Declaration of Independence.
