Abstract

Speaking of growth, we tend to think of growth in material consumption or in purchasing power. Growth means more cars and televisions and vacations. However, the dynamic of modern societies relies primarily on growth in immaterial values such as health, education, entertainment or equality, which have become so natural to us that they function as base values1 — weakly defined and therefore with the ability to comprise different content in different situations. Although values are assumed to be common, they pave the way for conflict, both with respect to which values to include and to what their actual meaning is.
