Thank you for such a lucid exposition on that existentially important but complicated topic.

If I may, I have developed a macroeconomic approach to de-growth (using demographics to govern output) that has only positive effects, i.e., no tradeoffs or burdens to be apportioned within society. The linked article is a "2 min read" here in Medium with links to articles about the paradigm from various angles within economics--with (for the benefit of 'guest readers') nothing I publish here behind the paywall. (For the record, I do have an M.A. in economics.)
