linear economy
Linear economy is the hopeful business model where resources flow in a straight line from production to consumption to disposal. It touts sustainability for the future while scripting a direct expressway to the trash bin. It distances itself from circular ideals, comforting society with an artful celebration of disposability. In its double-edged logic of planning for waste while proclaiming eco-friendliness, humanity may unwittingly be dancing to a clever corporate tune.
