It appears to me that the family of humanity is learning this week that a government can print money infinitely, without any "revenge" effects. At least that is what we are told by many mavens in the business of managing the global economy. Unfortunately, these mavens appear unwilling to acknowledge the profound implications associated with the understanding that the resource base provided by our planetary home is finite. That is to say, Earth's limited resources cannot support endless economic growth. No possible way.
The unbridled growth of the global economy could soon reach a point in space-time when the limited resources of the relatively small, evidently finite and noticeably frangible planet we inhabit simply can no longer sustain the colossal scale and expected growth of already rampant economic globalization now overspreading the surface of Earth and posing a threat to life as we know it as well as to the integrity of Earth and its environs.
Comments from one and all are welcome.
Sincerely,
Steve
