How can continual growth work as a stable economic model when we live on a planet with finite resources?
In: 12
Resources can be said to be finite, given present technology.
But we are constantly improving our ability to access new levels of supply based on improvements. Consider something as simple as oil wells. How many offshore wells were in existence 100 years ago? ZERO. So, “finite” oil resources in 1922, is a far different definition than it is in 2022.
