WE ARE TOLD THAT ...

We are told that ...

In order to be happy we must ... strive for growth of National Product
In order to fight unemployment we must ... strive for growth of National Product
In order to be safe we must ... strive for growth of National Product
In order to save the environment we must ... strive for growth of National Product
In order to develop the underdeveloped we must ... strive for growth of National Product
In order to have peace in the world we must ... strive for growth of National Product

But have we investigated into these claims? are they really true? and how so?

For many decades now (let's say since the end of WW II) the rich, industrialized nations have had - on the whole - growing and evergrowing National Products, but have we ...

- increased happiness of mankind in general?
- eradicated unemployment?
- increased the security of our nations and communities?
- improved the ecological balance?
- developed the poor economies?
- stabilized peace and harmony nationally and globally?

NO, we have not.

So, when are we finally going to admit that this trick is not working, but in fact much contributes to the problem? When will we decide to truly advance in civilization and stop the primitive policy of national borders that exclude others and extract the wealth of other nations for selfish use?
