The limits to growth. Mikesell, R. F. Resources Policy, 21(2):127–131, June, 1995. 00020Paper doi abstract bibtex This article summarizes the current issues in the ‘limits to growth’ controversy. It argues that the debate is meaningless unless participants define world growth, specify the non-substitutable natural resources essential to world growth and the outlook for their availability, and rigorously examine whether growth, as opposed to no growth, must inevitably reduce the productivity of the environmental assets that make life possible. It also concludes that the timeframe for limits to growth should be finite — no more than a century — since uncertainties with respect to technology and physical developments are so great as to make predictions to the indefinite future valueless.
