Executive Summary
- Escalating costs of resource extraction and associated pollution are key headwinds on future economic growth
- For the first time in generations, the same limits to growth that handicapped pre-industrial society are reasserting themselves
- Our economic and political leaders are misdiagnosing the root problem, and therefore prescribing the wrong treatments
- Remember stagflation? Get ready to experience it again – with a vengeance
If you have not yet read The Tangled Relationship between Wealth & Money available free to all readers, please click here to read it first.
The forces driving today’s ongoing economic crisis were sketched out decades ago in the pages of the Club of Rome’s epochal 1973 study, The Limits to Growth. Mention that book to most people nowadays, and those who admit they’ve heard of it at all routinely insist that it made false claims about the future.
The irony – and it’s not a small one – is that this simply isn’t true…
A society in this situation can expand its production of goods and services – its 'wealth economy,' in the terms used in Part I – up to the limits of the environment’s ability to provide resources and absorb waste.

On the heels of Chris' recent report clarifying the global net energy predicament, he and PeakProsperity.com contributing editor Gregor Macdonald sit down to talk in depth about the broken relationship between energy costs and economic growth.
For much of the twentieth century, the developed world saw a steady march upwards in wages and living standards, due primarily to huge quantities of cheap, high-yielding liquid hydrocarbon. As we find ourselves bumping along the plateau of Peak Oil's apex, suddenly we find "growth" is a lot harder to come by.
