Rethinking incessant growth

This article gives a good, clear picture of the reasons big businesses have become so powerful, the problems with it and what could actually function better in its place. The article covers the various industries, such as science, technology, agriculture, transportation, pharmaceutical, oil, banking, etc. He goes on to show how across the board, all industries are centered upon the principle of growth and beating out the little guys. The bottom line is that this kind of non-stop growth cannot possibly continue infinitely. When we start to realize that we are all suffering from this growth complex, we can start to rethink our societal structure and what might be a better path. The end of this growth complex could come in different forms, but we do have a choice to let it grow until it reaches its own violent end or work now towards a sustainable future.
