The rationing idea is something I picked up from Duncan Green at Oxfam. He’s written about it here: http://www.oxfamblogs.org/fp2p/?p=925

I love the idea of “rationing” growth! Just like we should ration our GHG emissions. Truth is, in order to stop emitting we must stop growing, they cannot be separated (without some miracle technology that doesn’t exist yet).

I am almost finished with Tim Jackson “Prosperity Without Growth,” which makes the best argument for stopping economic growth I’ve ever heard. Now we need a George Monbiot or similar to outline the rationing of growth. Great stuff!

Cheers,
Joshua
