Experimenter (2015)
In 1961, famed social psychologist Stanley Milgram conducted a series of radical behavior experiments that tested ordinary humans' willingness to obey authority.
The movie demonstrates why BAU will NOT change until it is cornered against a brick wall.
As KJ mentioned that this is a process we have no business really indulging more than say 10-15 minutes a day contemplating this.

In the year 2159, humanity is sharply divided between two classes of people: The ultrarich live aboard a luxurious space station called Elysium, and the rest live a hardscrabble existence in Earth's ruins. His life hanging in the balance, a man named Max (Matt Damon) agrees to undertake a dangerous mission that could bring equality to the population, but Secretary Delacourt (Jodie Foster) vows to preserve the pampered lifestyle of Elysium's citizens, no matter what the cost.

Respectfully disagree with your premise, however.
Who is forcing people to continue BAU growth? People are doing that because of habit or the desire to "better" their lives, not because they're compelled.

Call me an optimist, but I think you can "kick the can" on this one again and again. The new Great Depression will happen in the late 21st Century or the early 22nd Century IMHO.
