You’ve managed elegantly to make clear and insightful distinctions between different meanings of growth all while using the same word!
If the different meanings you’ve so clearly articulated are:
a) improvements in the habitability of planet earth and our local places for all
b) the generation of conditions that drive and enable (a)
and
c) the accumulation of capital, primarily through rentierism and ecocide that characterises late stage capitalism as currently experienced
Then do we need to search out and socialise new language to better reflect these meanings if we are to bring about political economies that favour a) and b) meanings over c) ?
