SUMMARY:Prosperity
DESCRIPTION:Register!\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Modernity has brought us more energetic and material prosperity than the royalty of antiquity experienced. This prosperity comes at an obvious\, though intensely hidden\, human and ecological cost. Most economists and CEOs want to convince us our levels of prosperity aren’t nearly enough\, and we need more energy and more materials. Certain thinkers\, such as Derrick Jensen\, think that none of this industrial prosperity justifies the costs\, and we should disband with our material and energy wealth altogether in order to save as much life on the planet as possible. Others\, like Jason Hickel\, think that we can maintain relatively high levels of prosperity – every human being can still own a laptop\, for example – and we can still maintain a sustainable existence on the planet. Considering the myth of perpetual progress and the massive human population\, how should we weigh arguments about our wealth? There are plenty of definitions of wealth outside of the dominant materialist\, individualist\, growth-based culture\, so what really is wealth anyways?
