Arne Naess Quotes

GNP Is Therefore In A Certain Sense A Value-neutral Quantity: A Measure Of Activity, Not Of Activity Of Any Kind Of Value. A First Argument Against Continued Growth Is Just This. The GNP Does Not Give Any Guarantee Of Meaningfulness Of That Which Is Created. Growth In GNP Does Not Imply Any Growth In Access To Intrinsic Values And Progress Along The Course Of Self-realization. Obviously Any Kind Of Economic Growth Which Is Not Related To Intrinsic Values Is Neutral Or Detrimental. The Measure Of GNP Is Somehow Related To The Fierceness Of Activity In The Society But This Fierceness May Very Well Have More To Do With A Lack Of Ability Of The Members Of The Society To Engage In Meaningful Activity Than A Measure Of Something Humanity Should Look Upon With Joy. There Is No Clear Relation To Life Quality.
