April 14, 2007, 57-minute lecture by Joshua Farley, Assistant Professor, Community Development and Applied Economics at the University of Vermont (and member of the CASSE Board of Advisors). Farley challenges the view that continuous economic growth on a planet with finite resources is possible or even desirable, particularly in the wealthy countries. He asks the question, "Is it the magic of the market or the magic of fossil fuels (which we're rapidly depleting) that has driven economic growth and consumption?" He discusses why the market economy has failed to account for declining ecosystem services, suggesting that economic growth actually has the opportunity costs of eliminating or severely degrading the ecosystem services that belong to the commons.
