In this article I discuss two main types of development: sustainable and accelerated, which largely contradict each other.

I also speculate about conditions needed to achieve accelerated development in a democratic setting characterised by neoliberal economy. Moreover, I present arguments that are raised by both opponents and supporters of sustainable development.
