“Chasing GDP growth results in lower living standards. Better indicators are needed to capture well-being and sustainability” – Joseph Stiglitz, Nobel laureate in economics 2001

“It is possible to alter these growth trends and to establish a condition of ecological and economic stability. The state of global equilibrium could be designed so that the basic material needs of each person on earth are satisfied and each person has an equal opportunity to realize his individual human potential.” – The Limits of Growth report (1972), Club of Rome
