SUMMARY:Richard Heinberg - The End of Growth: Peak Oil and the Economy
  of the Future
DESCRIPTION:We all take economic growth for granted – until it falte
 rs, as in 2008. But what if the recent economic meltdown was not just 
 an interruption in the story of continuous economic expansion, but the
  first sign of the end of growth as we know it?Will the convergence of
  financial instability, the end of cheap oil, and climate change usher
  in an era of contraction? In other words, do we have to adapt to a â€
 śnew normal”?Traditional economic growth is not the best measure of 
 human health and welfare. How might we pursue improvements in educatio
 n, the arts, health, well-being, freedom, and happiness without depend
 ing upon ever-expanding consumption? What does a transition to a new e
 conomy look like that doesn’t depend on a model of growth based on c
 heap energy, reckless consumption and financial speculation?About Rich
 ard Heinberg:Richard Heinberg is a Senior Fellow of the Post Carbon In
 stitute and is widely regarded as one of the world’s foremost Peak O
 il educators. He is the author of ten books including: The Post Carbon
  Reader (2010) (editor), Blackout: Coal, Climate, and the Last Energy 
 Crisis (2009), Peak Everything: Waking Up to the Century of Declines (
