"Sustainability and the Global Economic Downturn" | Dr. Avraham Arbib
December 18, 2019

In a "Talks at Google" presentation, Dr. Avraham Arbib discussed the global economic downturn, attributing its origins to the overuse and misuse of natural resources. He argued that continuous growth is unsustainable, increasing the risk of a non-linear collapse.

Dr. Arbib emphasized the need to reduce consumption rates in developed nations, clarifying this isn't a disaster, as living standards are not inherently tied to consumption. Essential to global economic stability is a redistribution of wealth, income, and opportunities for growth.
