SUMMARY:The Matthiessen Talks: The Idolatry of Growth - How much is Enough?
DESCRIPTION:Co-Presented by The Peter Matthiessen Center &amp\; Guild Hall\
 n\nWe live in a culture that rarely questions growth. Expansion—of marke
 ts\, wealth\, productivity\, even the self—is treated not only as an eco
 nomic goal\, but as a moral good. But what happens when growth begins to f
 unction as a belief system? What\, in this framework\, do we worship—and
  what do we lose?\n\nModerated by writer and editor Nina Channing\, this c
 onversation brings together authors whose work engages these questions acr
 oss literature\, criticism\, and environmental thought. Taking Peter Matth
 iessen’s work as a point of departure\, the discussion considers traditi
 ons of writing attentive to limits\, place\, and forms of life not organiz
 ed around accumulation.\n\nGuest speakers to be announced.
