    Without the Earth's resources, we have nothing.
    And it doesn't matter how many IOUs you write, eventually they will become worthless.


    What we are witnessing is the early stages of that decline in resources.

    Every single problem facing us today - economic, social, political, environmental - is a result of that fact.


    indeed so; I think Darwin, Malthus (and many many others including the ancient Greeks ) noticed that too.
