However, I believe that the solution to the problem of development without growth is needed by so-called developed nations such as US and Japan as well. Not just economically underdeveloped countries such as India. That too, right now. Japan laid expressways by the side of existing ones just to kickstart their sluggish economy. Can there be anything more insane than that?! Colossal environmental destruction !! Thanks to the division of labor, everyone has to produce something to earn his bread and butter. When I said he/she has to produce something, I am referring to physical goods. The above Japanese expressways is a case in point. So, I think that in countries like US, the extreme form of division of labor, which we see today might have to be toned down (may be significantly) to lead to a more sustainable mode of living. I might be wrong or might be missing a piece in the puzzle. In this context I found J.C. Kumarappa's economic thought very convincing. I am not sure if you read any of his ideas but would love to hear your thoughts on 'Division of Labor' and how it can achieve or defeat a solution to the problem of Growth without Development.
