Growth is an significant economic goal because it means more and more material abundance and ability to meet the economizing problem.  Growth decreases the burden of insufficiency.

The arithmetic growth is imposing.  Using the “rule of 70,” a growth rate of 2% annually would take 35 years for GDP to double, but a growth rate of 4% annually would only take about 18 years for GDP to double.  (The “rule of 70” uses the absolute value of a rate of change, divides it into 70, and the result is the number of years it takes the underlying quantity to double.)
