Read below a discussion about the convergence of market and technology. Follow #technocriticism

"The authorities say they have no choice but to move forward and keep up. Produce more and more, faster and faster. In reality, technological #progress has got out of hand. It's out of our control. And we should be the ones adapting to its frenetic pace. The ecological crisis has become a pretext for increasing global competition, the technological race and social and environmental dumping".

"What green growth offers us as a 'solution' is ever more markets and technology, […] a frantic quest for efficiency and rationalisation, with no regard for sensitivity or the quest for harmonious relations with others and with nature."

"With green industry, new tax credits and guarantees will be granted. Not 12 billion euros for workers and pensions, but hundreds of billions for big business."

“The idea of effecting decentralization while maintaining technical progress is purely utopian.”
