Introduction

Economics is a social science built around solving one simple problem. We as humans have unlimited desires, but limited means in which to fulfil those desires. All economic theories and schools of thought are built around answering these questions in slightly different ways that deliver what we think is the optimal outcome. But is endless growth even possible in a finite world? If it is possible, how? And if it isn't possible, what does that mean for the future of humanity? Economic growth is measured as the change in an economy's output, typically measured in g d p overtime.
