Paul Gilding and the climatic barrier to consumption growth

Andy Cruz
I looked forward to reading another collapse book and the economic crisis hitting shopping hobbies for Western consumeristas. Paul Gilding has written a book called "The great Disruption" and I was basically bored throughout the book. Throughout the book he says that denial needs to end from the public as it is part of our species not wanting to cut back. Paul realizes it is not tragic for the West to have less stuff, less money, less growth and so forth but as long as the people will never want a government to relinquish less power things will never change and the shopping mall will still be the primary destination from a bored public that seeks little contact with one another outside their sphere and family. We have lived beyond our planets resources because people have expectations to greater prosperity and demand democratic institutions to have main priorities that these expectations are fulfilled. This is basically the power of the corporate state that is so axiomatic that Paul Gilding should of basically written more about instead of the usual objective writings on this topic. The worlds poor has expectations to be able to join the class of resource hoarders and abusers on this planet thanks to the silly notion of superiority of the free-market institutions that in reality are drivers of corruption and inequality in the world and this book says little of this challenge to the status quo. Mr Gilding does look forward to the day that shopping becomes less of a entertainment expectation from the fairer and weaker sex and until they are met with a necessity of less things will not change. it is women for the most part whose endless needs for full wardrobes and sleek lifestyles that is bringing this world to an environmental catastrophe and this issue is never brought up by climatic fighters and anti-consumerist crusaders who realize the grave situation the earth faces. the spread of the global system is a humanitarian crisis that the fools will not understand until it is too late never seemingly realizing that their actions and destructive behaviors to have endless bargains is bargaining the ability of the planet to have a healthy ecosystem for all life to replenish.
