Economics in a Full World
By Herman E. Daly

Summary:
Economy growth has increased a lot but it could interfere with the ecosystems. We use most of natural capital- leads to uneconomic growth. The loss of resources makes growth useless to us. We need to change because we need something to sustain the biosphere. We need to shift growth into development. Earth is in trouble because if we do not change natural resources will become more scarce . If we do not change we can also become more polluted and have more environmental problems than we have now. Reflection: I think this is scary because the economies keep growing and we can not catch up because we are using too much of the natural resources. Soon we will have little to no natural resources left. This will cause a big problem if we do not slowly fix it now. Education is an answer to this because if people were educated about what is happening to earth at the moment I feel like they would start to make a difference. We should plant more trees as well. |
