Comment on Michael Stutchbury “Anti-growth stance a misty nostalgia for the 'little country that could'”, 14/08/2010, http://www.theaustralian.com.au/national-affairs/commentary/anti-growth-stance-a-misty-nostalgia-for-the-little-country-that-could/story-e6frgd0x-1225905085879
Growth based and relying on population growth is no different from no growth.
What we need is productivity, not gross growth based on population growth.
It is equally a misty nostalgia for whoever argues simply for growth based on population growth.
What is the use of no per capita growth but only gross growth?
Why does productivity growth have to rely on population growth?
That is really a no brain assumption or thought inertia, isn't it?
