    I’ll be entirely honest - I stumbled in from All and didn’t notice which community this was and was thinking about the words in isolation.

    With that said, I think you can think of economies like trees. They can grow in a way that’s sustainable and healthy (e.g., public infrastructure, social safety nets, efforts to address income inequality) but they can also be made to grow in an unhealthy way (e.g., subsidizing corporate interests, privatization of public utilities, promoting short-term gain). I think of it as ensuring stable roots and measured growth instead of trying to make it grow beyond its means of supporting itself and letting entire branches break off.

    Just a thought though. Interesting conceptualizations either way!
