I thought that we had "The Wind's Twelve Quarters"
(https://www.amazon.com/Winds-Twelve-Quarters-Stories-Ursula/dp/0060914343/ )
but I don't see it on our shelf.

Kinda funny how the child locked away is the same scene set in The
Dispossessed.  Maybe this happened to her and it continued to haunt her?

"The Dispossessed, presses this issue, having the closeted culture break
free from a planet which practices the equivalent of American capitalism
to one of its moons, where it strives to perfect an alternative, but
failing."  I don't think LeGuin would consider it "failing".  In fact, I
think she would consider it, 'tho flawed, a superior and desirable culture
and society.

There is nary a mention of "growth" in this article.  In my mind, the real
problem is growth and the end goal should be reduction and shrinkage.  I
think that would be the best way to achieve utopia: to have no humans
whatsoever.
