This Burntwood Lecture frames our current predicament as a societal addiction to a ‘growth at all costs’ economic paradigm, kept in place by the special interests that benefit most from that paradigm. While economic growth has produced many benefits, its side effects are now producing existential problems that are rapidly getting worse. We can learn from what works at the individual level to overcome addictions to design therapies that may work at the societal scale.
