We can have development with constraint, we can have development without the cult of growth, we could go back to the more inclusive, constrained form of economic progress seen in the immediate post war. We could even try to tune the system in new ways to limit the clear problems of unconstrained globalised capitalism.

We do not need to go back to a Medieval agrarian feudalism, return to mercantilism or unwind the industrial revolution. It happened, we should learn from it and make the best of it...
