Neoliberal capitalism is like a virus spreading everywhere, obsessed with GDP. Have/Have not. Indigenous people & women left out. Perpetuates the colonial order, with women subsiding the entire economy.

There are compelling ecological critiques of growthism in the global North. But there is another problem we must pay attention to, namely, that "capitalist growth requires an imperial arrangement—not as a side gig but as a structurally necessary feature." currentaffairs.org/2021/12/t…
