What is a better focus for the world than economic growth?

Guru: In fact, there’s another problem with economic growth?

Tom: What’s that?

Guru: It’s not sustainable.

Tom: Why not?

Guru: Economic growth relies on more and more consumption but the world’s resources are finite.

Tom: So it’s against the laws of nature?

Guru: It’s a losing strategy.

Tom: Anything that is against the laws of nature is doomed to failure?

Guru: Actually, it’s already a proven failure.

Tom: Really?

Guru: For the past few decades, the world has experienced unprecedented economic growth.

Tom: Then?

Guru: Do we still have poverty on Earth?

Tom: Yes, we do. How can we save the world?

Guru: Change the focus.

Tom: Focus to what?

Guru: Physical and spiritual well being of the citizens.
