The End of Growth. Adapting to our new economic model. Richard Heinberg<\/a>. 2011 ISBN 9780865716957.\u00a0 This author makes way too much sense. The recent\u00a0 Rubin <\/a>book started us off with a strong argument that we will not be able to continue with oil fired growth much longer.\u00a0 Heinberg analyses much more than declining low cost oil – he addresses declines in energy, water, food,\u00a0 fertilizers, arable land, and more, including geographic issues. In this he builds a very compelling case, even stronger than Rubin, that we are between a rock and hard place. Then he points out how our brains are hard wired to take the pleasure today , and not the little pain that would prevent big pain in future, giving present govts quite\u00a0 headache in coping with us. \u00a0 I appreciated that he goes on to lay out various ways we could mitigate what we have done and are doing.\u00a0 There is much here for anyone to chew over and make long term decisions. A very extraordinary thorough\u00a0 book relevant to our times and\u00a0 those of our children\/grandchildren.\u00a0 I recommend this one to anyone who cares about the future.<\/p>\n
