How much economic growth do we need?

How much growth does an economy (macro level) need? How much is enough, or, why do whe always need more. Is the minimum amount of growth needed determined by the growth of the population, or are there more dynamics at work. And, how much profitgrowth does a firm need (micro level)? Why is it not enough for firms to make some (or zero) profit. It seems like firms that have a stocknotation on a stockmarket cannot survive unless the make bigger profits every year. In short: How much growth is enough, and: what is the price of too much, or too little growth.
