If we have contradictory wants for example sovereign borders and world peace, then their results however practical we may be about getting them will be further contradictions.

THE CONSTANT ECONOMY
BY ZAC GOLDSMITH
The case for change
We consume way beyond our means, roughly three times beyond our means but that doesn’t mean we must live lives that are three times poorer. It means we should demand food that has travelled shorter distances, less packaging for goods and products that will actually last.
