The idea that economies always need to grow or else *doom* has never made sense to me… even stranger is that we measure that growth by the arbitrary metric that is GDP

Contraction, like growth is a natural part of life; but here’s the brain noodle .. public sector debt is a component of GDP 🤯

Even interest on said public sector debt is included. So looking at it simplistically you just borrow and spend forever then everything is peachy.

Sounds like a nice Modern Monetary Theory
