This goes about as far as I'd expect the NYT to go. It stops just short of considering a lot of the possibilities that have been kicked around for a couple of decades now. Personally, I see degrowth as the most likely possibility for the future. If we could acknowledge this possibility and make strategic plans to prepare for it, that would be great. But since the people in charge are so bent on business as usual, we will probably have to deal with a messy situation in the next couple of decades.
