Sustainable & Sustained Growth versus Economic Development

Abstract

The economy must always serve human beings, because otherwise it is nonsense. However, in a dominant, perverse and uncontrolled system, as Manfred Max-Neef called it, this has degenerated into a deterioration of nature, a product of the excessive abuse of natural wealth conceived in a system of economy that the great economic powers assimilated as a key to development, and all at the cost of the high price it represents for the world's natural environments. The use of power by earthly leaders has only served to enrich a few, leading them to mental illness, an "OCD" of greed. This has caused our system to be in a dying state, as biblically prophesied in Revelation 11:18.
