We're financially addicted to growth, because today's financial system is designed to pursue the highest rate of monetary return, putting publicly traded companies under constant pressure to deliver growing sales, growing market share and growing profits, and because banks create money as debt bearing interest, which must be repaid with more.
Vi er finansielt afhængige af vækst, fordi nutidens finansielle system er indrettet til at jagte det største monetære afkast. De sætter børsnoterede firmaer  under konstant pres for at levere øget salg,  øget markedsandel og voksende profit og fordi banker skaber penge som gældskabende renter, som må tilbagebetales.
