For 50 years, Western politics has rested on a single promise: growth.

But what if that promise can no longer be kept?

In this video, I ask a question almost no politician dares to face: what happens to democracy when growth flatlines permanently? I explore stagnant wages, finance-driven “growth”, asset bubbles, pensions, public services, and the political risks of a collapsing economic myth.

If growth cannot return, we must change the purpose of the economy itself — or risk losing democracy along with it.
