Richard Heinberg

Economists insist that recovery is at hand, yet unemployment remains 
high, real estate values continue to sink, and governments stagger under record deficits. The End of Growth proposes a startling 
diagnosis: humanity has reached a fundamental turning point in its 
economic history. The expansionary trajectory of industrial civilization
 is colliding with non-negotiable natural limits.

Richard 
Heinberg's latest landmark work goes to the heart of the ongoing 
financial crisis, explaining how and why it occurred, and what we must 
do to avert the worst potential outcomes. Written in an engaging, highly readable style, it shows why growth is being blocked by three factors:
 • Resource depletion
 • Environmental impacts
 • Crushing levels of debt
These converging limits will force us to re-evaluate cherished economic theories and to reinvent money and commerce.

The End of Growth describes
 what policy makers, communities, and families can do to build a new 
economy that operates within Earth's budget of energy and resources. We can thrive during the transition if we set goals that promote human and environmental well-being, rather than continuing to pursue the now-unattainable prize of ever-expanding GDP.
