The Myth of Infinite Growth



Infinite growth requires unlimited (or finite) resources, as well as unlimited space for a population to expand. With many resources like oil and coal coming to the peak of their production as their consumption increases, the growth for which those resources provide support becomes unsustainable. Economics rely directly on that growth, with markets around the world slowing down as energy peaks, and with many of those economies collapsing as global powers are vying for remaining supplies. This is the myth of infinite growth, for which opponents deny through willful ignorance and a misunderstanding of market economies and the energy which supports them.
