Growth growth growth : human history and the planetary catastrophe

Julian Cobbing

"Growth growth growth retells history as a succession of a pivotal crises linked to the economic growth. Beginning with agriculture ten thousand years ago, each crisis led to an impasse until human ingenuity devised a technical 'solution' to fix it. These solutions included the alphabet, paper, clocks, guns, the printing press, the steam engine, the petrol engine, electricity, nitrogen fertilizer, and the computer. Each solution, however, played a part in the next crisis."--Publisher's description
