History repeats because its human behavior and institutions. Fear-mongering laissez-faire websites not excused.

Economic growth is now due to innovation, technology, and not due to increased raw materials because there is not a limitless supply of anything. Oil, copper, metals - the easy money has been made. Paradoxically energy may be cheaper with alternative sources which puts added energy and use capacity on limited raw materials.

Innovation and recycling are our only tools unless we harvest moon resources.
