It's hard to make a case for or against economic growth, when all the economic growth of the past 30 years has been shoveled into the gaping maw of the ruling class.

That said, I don't want a steady-state economy - not in the long term anyway (i.e. thousands of years). We should not exhaust our resources on Earth, of course, and could do a much better job there, but eventually our species should come to harness the power of galaxies, and that will require economic expansion.
