Are We Coming to the End of the Growth Era?

Click here to access article: a review of a Richard Heinberg's new book by this title posted in Canadian Dimension.

This is an excellent review in that it balances the insights offered by Heinberg regarding the hazards that lie ahead if our ruling classes try to continue with growth as usual with his optimistic view that capitalism can adapt to a no growth economy. The best that Heinberg can offer are moral imperatives for people of all classes to organize for a no growth economy. The reviewer, Cy Gonick, is critical of this view.
