"Because the existing system is credit-based, it cannot allow ongoing deflation without a complete collapse. (Because the credit would be wiped out and the credit IS the system) Society would never vote to have their entire way of living collapse. Which means a paradox exists where society will always eventually insist on manipulated “growth” for fear of the consequences of collapse, and that manipulated growth is the primary source of the problems that society is dealing with — including environmental damage."
