> how can we have infinite growth on a planet with limited resources? I find it sad but unsurprising that a reasonable question like this attracts a bunch of downvotes here. I heartily recommend Higgs' book "Collision Course" -- it doesn't provide solutions about how to get ourselves out of the mess that we're in, but it does provide a lot of historical evidence explaining how much public thought and speech around economic growth has been warped by propaganda: Kerryn Higgs -- Collision Course: Endless Growth on a Finite Planet https://mitpress.mit.edu/books/collision-course https://mitpress.mit.edu/books/collision-course A few quotes from reviews: > If modern society ever had a core taboo it is against speaking favorably of limits, especially with respect to growth. > Higgs explains brilliantly how our ideas about economics and the environment have been carefully warped and manipulated over decades, just so a small minority could get rich.
