hicks doesn't want to hear contrary opinion. hicks the propaganda you watch is not educating you its simple brain washing.
No matter if your "believes" are Communism, Chairman Mao, Stalin, Castro, Chavez, Socialism, ect. none work without economic growth. There are no exceptions. You could have very low growth if you limited population growth and eliminated immigration. Because inflation and population growth are rules, every economic system that does not grow actually sinks.
Your "believes" would cut off investment and cause capital flight.
Capital flight, in
economics, occurs when
assets or
money rapidly flow out of a country, due to an event of economic consequence. Such events could be an increase in
taxes on
capital. This leads to a disappearance of wealth.
The point of my previous post is if you allowed yourself, you could see these pitfalls. Maybe even open your horizons to address them? Of course, that will lead to encouraging investment which will cause you some anxiety.
