The End of Growth: Adapting to Our New Economic Reality
The End of Growth proposes a startling diagnosis of our current economic situation: humanity has reached a fundamental turning point in its economic history. The expansionary trajectory of industrial civilization is colliding with non-negotiable natural limits.
Richard Heinberg's work goes to the heart of the financial crisis, explaining how and why it occurred, and what we must do to avert the worst potential outcomes, showing why growth is blocked by three factors: 1) resource depletion; 2) environmental impacts; and 3) crushing levels of debt. These converging limits will force us to re-evaluate cherished economic theories and to reinvent money and commerce.
