Ending and Beginning

I never pretended to understand how you could have perpetual growth of anything in a finite world. I just couldn’t make it make sense. But then about 15 years ago I threw in the towel, since it seemed to be working and everyone was getting richer and the US apparently could go on growing forever.

Now, the fallaciousness of perpetual growth is becoming a more widely-held notion, even with crazy Larry Summers advising the President. I need to know when to listen to my own wisdom, even when it seems that no one else is thinking the same way.
