Economic growth, with all of its downsides, is clearly unsustainable in the 21st century. Long-term recession is no panacea either. A steady state economy is the sustainable alternative to perpetual economic growth.

In contrast the steady state economy provides the means for present and future generations to achieve a high quality of life. For more detailed information, read Enough Is Enough.
The Act of Discovery
Many people, upon discovering the steady state economy, experience one of two reactions:
- Relief and joy at having found a viable way for dealing with the daunting problems society faces, including climate disruption, dwindling natural resources, widespread poverty, economic collapse, and species extinctions.
- Doubt and denial due to old habits of thought, misconceptions about what a steady state economy is, and fear of change.
