Green Growth

Wim Naudé

Chapter Chapter 4 in Economic Growth and Societal Collapse, 2023, pp 69-93 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract This chapter critically analyzes Green Growth and its foundation in technosolutionism—a correlate of the Silicon Valley Mindset as described by Douglas Rushkoff and the philosophy of the Tech-Elite of Technofeudalism, as Yanis Varoufakis calls them. The chapter concludes that Green Growth may not be able to result in complete dematerialization and absolute decoupling. It may therefore not be able to stop an ecological overshoot.
