Landsberg, Hans H. – Science, 1976
The dynamics of growth have broadened concern over future materials supplies. The problem is multidimensional encompassing issues of depletion, materials cycles, recycling and substitution problems, energy, environmental costs, and economic growth. A new issue has also arisen demanding an international economic order between developed and…

Goeller, H. E.; Weinberg, Alvin M. – Science, 1976
Dwindling mineral resources might cause a shift from nonrenewable resources to renewable resources and inexhaustible elements such as iron and aluminum. Alternative energy sources such as breeder, fusion, solar, and geothermal power must be developed for production and recycling of materials. Substitution and, hence, living standards ultimately…

Hubbard, Ivan – Journal of Environmental Education, 1976
The two major branches of economics, micro and macro, are developing conflicting theories on pollution and environmental quality which rest upon very different assumptions concerning the use of natural resources in our economic system. Consequently, economists have focused upon the symptoms of the pollution problem rather than its causes. (BT)
