Juggernaut: Growth on a Finite Planet [signed]

Lindsey Grant examines the human condition as population and consumption levels approach the edges of the Earth's ability to support them. The book is a unique synopsis of the interactions among population, food production, the energy transition, air pollution and climate change, technology, trade polices, productivity and unemployment. It describes the different ways that the current population explosion plays out in the poorest countries, the "emerging" countries, and the old industrial nations- and shows how they will shape each other's future. It relates that growth to U.S. policies on foreign affairs, agriculture, trade, immigration, unemployment, population and health care, and proposes some specific changes in thinking and policies.
