wouldn't that create a recession or depression?

Is an economic recession or depression necessarily bad, if everyone's basic needs are still accounted for?

If the economy is in a state of overproduction and extreme waste while the effects are the burn-up of our own habitat, shouldn't it tune down a bit anyway?

We could go for ecological and climate collapse instead.

I hope there is a middle way.
