    "They say “growth is killing us.” They couldn’t be MORE wrong.

    Growth is not killing us. It’s saving us!” says author Johan Norberg. He explains why growth is essential to human progress, especially for poor people.

    “In poor countries, if you manage to grow by 4% annually over 20 years,” he points out, “that reduces poverty in that country on average by 80%.

    But DEgrowth activists insist that growth means “climate chaos.” They say a smaller economy would be “sweeter.”

    They say “We must urgently dismantle capitalism!” It’s destructive nonsense.

    This video explains why."

    The Nazi Facists tried it in WW2 and Stalin tried it in the post
    War. Yes thru starvation, bullets, mass extermination to no consistent success. My wife’s family members each put their lives on the line (some died in battle) to stop this onslaught of taking lives & thank the Lord for their success
