Expanding the economy benefits everyone, but really it's more nuanced. Yes you need (ambient) growth because growth equals change which hopefully you get (good) innovations. But you can have growth down bad paths like cloud slavery and the erosion of machinic/digital ownership so growth for growth sake may be maliciously ignorant without the nuance of what the consumer and product landscape is like. On that alone I'll rebuke growth over equality. You don't want to become a bootloader for a paperclip system of bad innovation and social organization. Ah figures this was written by a 'classical* liberal'.
