Growth is, in fact, almost synonymous with the market economy that prevails today. This anti-ecological world will not be healed by acts of statementship or passage of piecemeal legislation. A system of deeply entrenched structures of which growth is merely a surface manifestation makes up our society. These structures arc beyond moral control, much as the flow of adrenaline is beyond the control of a frightened creature.
