1
00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:03,960
Speaker 1: Leftist intellectuals have a new economic model they're promoting. It's

2
00:00:03,960 --> 00:00:07,040
Speaker 1: called the D growth movement, and the people behind this

3
00:00:07,120 --> 00:00:09,160
Speaker 1: are on a mission. They want to change the belief

4
00:00:09,240 --> 00:00:12,640
Speaker 1: that economic growth is a good thing. That's right. According

5
00:00:12,680 --> 00:00:15,760
Speaker 1: to these people, economic growth is bad. It's bad for

6
00:00:15,800 --> 00:00:18,880
Speaker 1: the earth, it's bad for society, bad for you. It'll

7
00:00:18,880 --> 00:00:21,520
Speaker 1: make the world a cleaner, nicer, more fair place if

8
00:00:21,560 --> 00:00:24,560
Speaker 1: we D grow the economy. To D grow, we have

9
00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:28,760
Speaker 1: to get rid of capitalism. We have to create a just, participatory,

10
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:35,240
Speaker 1: ecologically sustainable society. Rich nations meeting America must downsize income

11
00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:38,960
Speaker 1: and wealth must be redistributed. Now, this new economic model

12
00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:43,360
Speaker 1: is exactly the same as every other leftist economic model.

13
00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:48,400
Speaker 1: The growth is just another name for socialism, and it's spreading.

14
00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:51,120
Speaker 1: The BBC has a big puff piece on D growth

15
00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:54,080
Speaker 1: as a solution to global warming. They say we should

16
00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:58,520
Speaker 1: work less, thus slowing down the global economy and curbing

17
00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:02,320
Speaker 1: our appetite to con do more stuff because that's the

18
00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:06,119
Speaker 1: primary source of admissions. A shorter work week, they say

19
00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:08,880
Speaker 1: that could save the earth. The D growth movement is

20
00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:12,560
Speaker 1: now they don't work movement. Now. You can laugh all

21
00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:16,200
Speaker 1: you want, but these people are serious, and their movement

22
00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:19,600
Speaker 1: is gaining traction worldwide. If you think the idea of

23
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:23,280
Speaker 1: d growth is fringe, pay attention to what the Democrat

24
00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:27,840
Speaker 1: candidates are saying. It's exactly what they're proposing. Ending America's

25
00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:30,120
Speaker 1: growth is exactly what they want
