Questions/Issues Discussed
Do humans impact the world in both good and bad ways?
Since the 5th Century BC, have thinkers agreed that population growth needed to be controlled lest the food supply be overwhelmed and famine ensue? Marian Tupy explains that, while this is true, we have grown in knowledge and we now have very efficient agriculture systems that provide plenty of food for people across the world.
Are our students being taught that "too many of us are using too much"?
How long must someone work to buy a variety of products? Why is this important for the world economy?
On On average, does a human create more value today than what they are consuming?
Is innovation the key to human survival? Marian explains how innovation is "the expansion of the physical limits of our planet". He writes: "To innovate, people must be allowed to think and to act. Such people can create tremendous value".
