Very interesting, inspiring even.
Not long ago I saw a factoid to the effect that Japan had attained a kind of equilibrium where population contraction was making economic growth unnecessary (after all: less people for same economic output, so the virtual effect is expansion). It's a striking idea, it would be interesting to hear more about it.
