"Die 'invisible hand' hatte, schon im 17. Jahrhundert, eine Fortschrittsgarantie symbolisiert. Nachdem sie zunehmend unter Arthrose zu leiden begann, übernahm das Desiderat des wirtschaftlichen Wachstums selbst diese Funktion. […] Den Politikern und der öffentlichen Meinung wird folglich suggeriert, Wirtschaftswachstum sei notwendig, sei eine Bedingung gesellschaftlicher Stabilität."
