Description
Sustainable economics implies development without depleting natural resources or harming the environment. Can economies grow forever or are their limits to growth? Can capitalism handle zero-growth, or shall we expect a catastrophic explosion? Will China, India and other developing countries save the world, or destroy it? While environmentalists maybe overly concerned with sustainability, capitalists may be far too complacent about the changes ahead.
