Energy, Complexity and Wealth Maximization

Více o knize

Exploring the mechanisms behind wealth creation, the book delves into the interplay between energy inputs, particularly fossil fuels, and the flow of goods and services. It outlines three essential requirements for generating wealth and examines how this process adheres to physical laws, often involving the exploitation of natural resources. The author raises critical questions about the future of wealth creation, particularly whether the emerging knowledge economy can sustain progress as traditional natural wealth diminishes, offering insights into the challenges ahead.
