The debate on the physical limits and constraints to the economic
growth of globalized society is now widespread. This book explores
the physical and economic aspects of the conflict between humans,
with their thoughtless focus on growth through material production,
and environmental constraints. In the context of the looming
shortage of material resources and the latest science on climate
change, Physical Limits to Economic Growth offers new insights
which provide a broad and comprehensive picture of the conflict
between humans and environmental constraints. The authors' approach
goes beyond the boundaries of specialized disciplines to explore
climate change, resource depletion, technical innovation and the
interactions between these within the socio-economic-institutional
systems we live in. This volume looks at opportunities for
rethinking these systems if we moved away from fossil fuel
dependence, while considering the status of current mainstream
economic thinking around this subject. Physical Limits to Economic
Growth provides a genuine interdisciplinary examination of the
physical limits to economic growth. It will be of interest to both
students and academics in various disciplines in the areas of
natural sciences, climate change and economics.
