The Roots of Our Crises: Does Human Nature Drive Us toward Collapse? [link]Paper  doi  abstract   bibtex   
IT HAS BECOME THE STUFF of daily headlines: the world is in overshoot, with humans wrecking the environment, destroying their own habitat, and undermining the functional integrity of the very biophysical systems upon which they are dependent. Strident warnings of ecological crisis and runaway climate change have gone virtually unheeded for decades. Indeed, the human ecological footprint has expanded exponentially with population and consumption since the early nineteenth century. Brief remissions in recent years are attributable not to deliberate policy correctives but rather to temporary economic setbacks.
