Growth vs Sustainability: A Crash Course in Economics, Resources, and Our World Today

Growth profoundly affects our world through economics, the environment, and our energy use. As population and resource use increase, exponential growth intersects our finite planet resulting in the problems and challenges we face today.

This live presentation, given at the Green Summit in summer 2010, is based upon the 20 chapter, 3+ hour Crash Course by Chris Martenson (available on YouTube and at http://www.chrismartenson.com/ ).
