From David M. Delaney
It is disheartening to see New Scientist present an issue on globalisation that does not mention the possibility that unregulated economic growth may be unable to achieve its most important boast: eliminating poverty. A simple calculation suggests that there are not enough natural resources for this mad idea to work. If you need convincing, read chapter 7 of Beyond Growth by Herman Daly (Beacon Press, 1996).
