Comments by "Brenda Rua" (@brendarua01) on "A healthy economy should be designed to thrive, not grow | Kate Raworth" video.

  1. This is a lovely exposition on where the current growth model of capitalism has taken us, and what the future holds. And comments knee jerking in defense of the current system miss the point. No surprise at all. Raworth made the history of how we got here, just where "here" is, and where we are going unless we change as simple as possible. The doughnut model is brilliant. But some people will not see things in the light of day. They prefer to kick the table and shout meaningless platitudes in fear of change. Too bad for them. And too bad for us, who they will take down.

  2. AnBio What you don't realize is that the facts she models exist whether you think it's a good idea or not. The current system can not continue; it will eventually crash. The only question is how humanity responds.

  3. Squirrell You're missing the point. She's not saying capitalism is bad. There was capitalism before the crazy growth model we're in. It's the fetish fixation on growth that is the problem.

  4. Clayton Yeah right. As if your economics has a handle on anything significant. That you can think otherwise after several major crashes proves you are blinded. Your assertions with no evidence in combination with this lend you no credence at all. Just go back to your bubble.

  6. AnBio are you a bot? You make very little sense and are not really responsive to anybody. But I agree that you use no effort. This is obvious lolol

  7. Jason LMAO How will you feel when you realize you are talking like a TV advertisement, while scolding someone about proper grammar, who was scolding someone. The irony is rich in your circle jerk.

  8. TomTom You're right that she didn't say much about taxation. Why should she? She did point out that governments want growth in tax revenue. That is one component driver but it is not fundamental to the current system.
