Econo0mic, endless growth is regarded as the ultima ratio to cure these and other problems. But in fact this madness is fostering and spreading the demand to keep or even increase our living standards, and is bringing more and more people on the globe to share in that way of life. Thus such "unlimited economic growth" is not the cure but the cause of our problems. It is a suicide stategy. We need to massively lower our living standards. But nobody wants that, everybody starts yelling when being told, and no politicians wanting to continue in office will ever dare to say that. So... bit-by-bit-exitus as logical consequence.

100% agree. No unlimited growth is possible in a limited world.
The only thing that will keep prices from going higher will be the moment when people can no longer pay them. We are on the edge of the biggest crisis the world has ever seen, caused by the mad tendency to rush forward as a solution to all problems. There isn't enough in the world for everyone to live by the same standards that europeans and americans currently do. And if it were right now, the continuous growth of population will eat that in some years. Period.
