Unfortunately, however, many postgrowthers, degrowthers, and doughnut economists seem not to reciprocate. If such a faction were prominent, the first two scenarios innocent oversight and lack of steady-state familiarity would be more common than they should be. Serving on the planning committee, I helped to steer the focus toward ecological macroeconomics. During one of the panel sessions, the moderator led the panel into envisioning a sustainable, equitable economy.
After all, the moderator was a long-time editor of Ecological Economics , and another panel member was a well-known sustainability thinker and CASSE contact. The steady state economy—real sustainability—was set to take a significant step into the Washington, DC dialog. Big Green would never be the same; even Congress would start feeling the ripples. To our utter dismay, the panel failed us all: steady staters, degrowthers, and doughnut economists alike.
For the moderator, apparently, it was either his frame—with him in the middle—or no frame at all. Those of us fighting the formidable forces of growth, especially, have to band together and start producing some synergistic effects, before all the water goes under the bridge.
After a stage of degrowth, the goal will be a steady state economy of mildly fluctuating GDP, preferably around an optimal level. We positively need degrowth toward a steady state economy. Toward the end of the conference, with Daly winning the Lifetime Achievement Award, the audience was edified by an entirely different type of leadership than found in the earlier panel.
I tend to agree about the fragmentation problem. We shoot for optimum flexibility. The article is largely about the importance of framing, and partly about the lack of flexibility found in other circles. You might consider providing your input there. Thanks in advance! Branding is critical- Once chosen the name must be repeated as often as possible. Descriptions serve there purpose… beneath the brand name. People recognise brands- just go and walk down a supermarket aisle.
See above. Scenes of Youngkin walking the aisles of a grocery store and promising tax cuts helped make him seem relatable to average consumers. In this race, one candidate got the mix wrong. As noted above, Youngkin, offered a clear explanation of his economic platform. He offered voters an idea of where he stands. Of course, politicians promise many things during campaigns. McAuliffe centered communication about his opponent being a supporter of former president Trump.
A McAuliffe ad included audio of Youngkin praising Trump. For McAuliffe, those policies were unacceptable. Both Trump and Youngkin are white males, wealthy businessmen and were political neophytes at the start of their respective campaigns.
The error, as we noted above, was that McAuliffe spent a lot of time pushing the anti-Trump message. Today, Carville's phrase rings truer than ever.
After years of a booming economy, President Biden came into office and threw out every successful policy that had brought about that thriving economy while ushering in unprecedented levels of spending. These policies have stagnated our economy, caused rising inflation, and led to an economic downturn. When President Trump came into office, he was handed an economy still sluggish from the Great Recession of By implementing good economic policies such as cutting taxes for almost all Americans, and deregulating business, he was able to bring about an economic boom.
Stock markets saw record highs, gas prices were down, and unemployment was at its lowest level in nearly 50 years. Not to mention we had achieved energy independence on Trump's watch.
In short, his policies worked, and the American people felt it in their wallets. It's AM in my timezone. But I will be back and comment on your comments. Again, thanks for the feedback and see you.

Quote from: Farbs on January 14, , PM. I think the biggest challenge is giving people enough feedback that they know why their decisions had particular outcomes. This is as much about showing causality as it is about effectively communicating state. If each action button showed a popup explaining the implications of that action I'd probably have a better idea of what I was doing.
Also, the text report gets dull to read after a while so I stopped paying attention to it. Is there a graphical way you could represent this data? The actual report text was still useful in understanding why things happened, but reading it as a report became dull very fast.
Would it be possible to have a graphical report with the explainations in popups? It seems from reading the tips of game winners that the best strategy is to cut taxes and social programs during lag periods.
I'll have to try again; it seems like you can't win the game with a socialist approach. I completely wiped out unemployment in my first turn. Yet apparently the unemployed are still protesting. Quote from: Movius on January 15, , PM. OK, I think I fixed the bug that made it possible to eliminate unemployment Now there should be enough unemployed people to organize demonstrations. I have also made the transition between panels on the main screen faster. Those voters are brutal!
