1
00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:04,000
Speaker 1: Leftist intellectuals have a new economic model they're promoting. It's

2
00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:07,160
Speaker 1: called the D growth movement, and the people behind this

3
00:00:07,200 --> 00:00:09,280
Speaker 1: are on a mission. They want to change the belief

4
00:00:09,360 --> 00:00:12,800
Speaker 1: that economic growth is a good thing. That's right. According

5
00:00:12,880 --> 00:00:16,000
Speaker 1: to these people, economic growth is bad. It's bad for

6
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:19,160
Speaker 1: the earth, it's bad for society, bad for you. It'll

7
00:00:19,200 --> 00:00:21,840
Speaker 1: make the world a cleaner, nicer, more fair place if

8
00:00:21,880 --> 00:00:24,919
Speaker 1: we D grow the economy. To D grow, we have

9
00:00:25,040 --> 00:00:29,160
Speaker 1: to get rid of capitalism. We have to create a just, participatory,

10
00:00:29,440 --> 00:00:35,760
Speaker 1: ecologically sustainable society. Rich nations meeting America must downsize income

11
00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:39,520
Speaker 1: and wealth must be redistributed. Now, this new economic model

12
00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:44,000
Speaker 1: is exactly the same as every other leftist economic model.

13
00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:49,160
Speaker 1: The growth is just another name for socialism, and it's spreading.

14
00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:51,880
Speaker 1: The BBC has a big puff piece on D growth

15
00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:54,920
Speaker 1: as a solution to global warming. They say we should

16
00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:59,400
Speaker 1: work less, thus slowing down the global economy and curbing

17
00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:03,280
Speaker 1: our epic tight to consume more stuff because that's the

18
00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:07,160
Speaker 1: primary source of admissions. A shorter work week, they say

19
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:09,920
Speaker 1: that could save the earth. The D growth movement is

20
00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:13,680
Speaker 1: now they don't work movement. Now. You can laugh all

21
00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:17,360
Speaker 1: you want, but these people are serious, and their movement

22
00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:20,840
Speaker 1: is gaining traction worldwide. If you think the idea of

23
00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:24,560
Speaker 1: d growth is fringe, pay attention to what the Democrat

24
00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:29,200
Speaker 1: candidates are saying. It's exactly what they're proposing. Ending America's

25
00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:31,480
Speaker 1: growth is exactly what they want
