Steady Statesmanship For International Diplomacy
Rich Nations Gobbling Resources at an Unsustainable Rate   OAKLAND, California, March 30, 2004 (ENS) – Excessive consumption by the world’s richest nations is making life even more difficult for the world’s least fortunate, according to a new report by Redefining Progress… the wealthiest nations are depleting global resources at an unprecedented rate… mortgaging the future at the expense of today’s children, the poor and the long term health of the planet.

La macroeconomía ecológica de la biodiversidad - Brian Czech

Hinweis der Redaktion

  1. The first law of thermodynamics, along with Einstein’s insight on the equivalence of energy and matter, tell us that neither energy nor matter may be created nor destroyed (although they may be transformed). This puts a ceiling on the amount of material and energy available for economic production. The second law, the entropy law, may be reduced to the statement that no production process may achieve 100% efficiency. The first and second laws do not allow for a perpetual increase in the production and consumption of goods and services. That is, they put a cap on economic growth.
  2. The study of happiness in the fields of economics and psychology is gaining traction. This is a graphical depiction of the relationship between happiness and income. The X-axis is income per person, and the Y-axis is an index of self-reported happiness. The dots represent countries. So each country takes its spot on the graph based on how much money people receive and how happy they are on average. There seems to be a fairly clear relationship between income and happiness. Nations with high incomes tend to be happier. But the relationship starts to break down once a certain income threshold is surpassed. Once people can meet their needs and achieve some level of comfortable living standards, more income appears not to make them happier.
