An immediate example of our interdependence with everyone else on the planet is our economy. For this reason TRACT has maintained an enduring interest in the field of economics. Continuing from the discussion last year on the financial crisis, TRACT plans to delve into the controversy surrounding economic growth, a topic deeply emeshed with our values and worldview.
For a preview of the divergent perspectives on growth and our economic future, see the following articles:
"The Five Stages of Growth." W.W. Rowstow.
"The Enduring Elixir of Economic Growth. Xavier Sala-i-Martin on the wealth and poverty of nations"
"Fear of fallowing: The specter of a no-growth world"
"Thought Trap: Growth vs. No Growth?"
We are currently in the process of refining topics for this discussion and identifying potential speakers.
