Richard is a Senior Fellow of the Post Carbon Institute in California and has written 10 books examining issues associated with declining resources and the folly of pursuing infinite growth. His latest book is titled 'The End of Growth: Adapting to Our New Economic Reality'. While the conventional wisdom is that we must 'get the economy growing again', Heinberg says that strategy is only compounding the problem.
