Summary: In this Independence Day edition of the C-Realm Podcast, KMO talks with Brian Czech of the Center for the Advancement of a Steady State Economy (C.A.S.S.E.) about the tension between our finite material resources and the expectation of never-ending growth. Later KMO reads from an essay by Stanley Krippner, "Consciousness and the Mythologies of Society," in which he holds the central driving myth of the so-called First World up to the light of consciousness. How long can we afford to plot our course by the Grand Narrative of Progress? The Center for the Advancement of the Steady State Economy (CASSE) is a non-profit, tax-exempt organization dedicated to advocating a sustainable economy with stabilized population and consumption. This economy is called a "steady state economy." http://steadystate.org/ Here's an article that looks relevant, though I haven't read it yet: http://www.countercurrents.org/parsons270407.htm
