' "If you did nothing at all the world could not keep running. What would the world be without development?"
"Why do you need to develop? If economic growth rises from 5% to 10%, is happiness going to double? What's wrong with a growth rate of 0%? Isn't this a rather stable kind of economics? Could there be anything better than living simply and taking it easy?" '
