Infinite Resource: The Power of Ideas on a Finite Planet
We’re beset by all sorts of daunting natural-resource and environmental challenges that pose a tremendous risk to human prosperity, world peace, and the planet itself: climate change, finite fossil fuels, freshwater depletion, feeding the planet, and overpopulation, among others.

In a whirlwind tour, Naam, author of The Infinite Resource: The Power of Ideas on a Finite Planet, walks us through the science and technology frontiers that could reduce our footprint on this world even as we bring billions out of poverty, and the hard policy choices we need to make in order to win the race between innovation and depletion.
