A pendulum swing away from globalization and toward protectionism?

I still have no idea how (if at all) we reconcile indefinite economic growth with environmental limits while at the same time attending to poverty and inequality. But I am pretty skeptical that “buy more stuff” is a viable long-term solution to our economic woes (never mind our social, personal, and spiritual woes), even though it seems to be at the foundation of all the “economic stimulus” plans on offer.
