Throughput of materials and energy is the central problem
Throughput of materials and energy is the central problem☜The linear Mine-Manufacture-use-dispose economic model (or in the case of carbon fuels, Mine-Burn-Pollute) is unsustainable at present levels, let alone on a continuous-growth model. We must make the transition to a cyclical Manufacture-Use-Re-use-Recycle model. In the process of transition, much good work in the green sector of the economy will be created. Note that growth in understanding, education, art and science is possible and desirable. ☜FFB597

Money is created through interest bearing loans.☜The global money supply doubles every decade. Most is created by banks issuing loans (=>debt) at interest. All countries bar 4 are in debt - not to each other, but to banks. It should not surprise us therefore that the world economy has vast amounts of debt at its centre. ☜FFFACD
