Coming to an Office Near You - Technology And Economy

[Michael Hardner]

How so? You are going to need many more resources to feed 7 billion now than you would at 1/4 of that only a century ago. Energy, land, feed, equipment. The human resource factor may have dropped, but the other resources needed have dramatically increased. So no they are not a fraction of what they were.

I was primarily talking about the human factor. There's also technology that helps increase yields. But, you're right, I can't speak to resources, generally. I suspect it's a complicated question.

What we do know is that world hunger continues to drop dramatically.

Then the money might as well be non existent if it's invisible.

Not true. It exists, but it is hidden.

Increasing debt and taxes is not a solution. That has already been tried many times. We need to move away from debt, that way we can reduce taxes.

Actually, taxes have been continually decreased in the west over decades.
