The Mathematics of Chaos
"Eventually economic growth will be stopped by the impacts it has on the environment - simply the environment is the source of our wealth".
We're all living in a much less predictable, unstable world, the question is what do we want to do about it?
The economists insist that because we can't regulate and control the economy the way we used to think we could our only salvation lies in obeying the market and going for growth. Anything else they say will lead to economic chaos and collapse.
On the other hand
The environmentalists say, that it is precisely this unbridled economic growth, which will push the World's natural systems to their own chaos and collapse from which there will be no coming back.
