I imagine large part of it is that it's at odds with capitalist drive to increase consumption.

Wild reading this from Business Insider of all places:

This ideology ultimately led to the financialization of the US corporation — the process of putting shareholders first […] — and its emergence as an actor that takes resources from the economy rather than creating them. This, combined with a government zeal for lowering taxes rather than spending, means no one… is investing enough in America to keep the economy strong across social classes

yup

What they don't mention is that China is actively enacting social policies that facilitate people having more kids and massively investing in automation.

looks to be back

It's also quite amazing how they manage to dance around the fact that capitalism is the source of the problems they're describing.

no idea, but the mere fact that the question can be reasonably asked says volumes
