  • Rethinking Economic Growth Theory From a Biophysical Perspective

    by Blair Fix ...
    Series series Energy (R0)
    Neoclassical growth theory is the dominant perspective for explaining economic growth. At its core are four implicit assumptions: 1) economic output can become decoupled from energy consumption; 2) economic distribution is unrelated to growth; 3) large institutions are not important for growth; and 4) labor force structure is not important for growth. Drawing on a wide range of data from the ... Read more

  • The Power Surge

    Energy, Opportunity, and the Battle for America's Future

    by Michael Levi ...
    The United States is in the throes of two unfolding energy revolutions, and partisans--convinced that only their side holds the key to American prosperity, security, and safety--are battling over which one should prevail. In The Power Surge, Michael Levi takes readers inside these revolutions. He shows how oil and gas production, after decades in decline, are being propelled upward by new ... Read more

  • Energy and the Wealth of Nations

    Understanding the Biophysical Economy

    by Charles A. S. Hall, Kent A. Klitgaard ...
    Series series Engineering (R0)
    For the past 150 years, economics has been treated as a social science in which economies are modeled as a circular flow of income between producers and consumers. In this “perpetual motion” of interactions between firms that produce and households that consume, little or no accounting is given of the flow of energy and materials from the environment and back again. In the standard economic model, ... Read more

  • Energy, Complexity and Wealth Maximization

    by Robert Ayres ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    This book is about the mechanisms of wealth creation, or what we like to think of as evolutionary "progress." The massive circular flow of goods and services between producers and consumers is not a perpetual motion machine; it has been dependent for the past 150 years on energy inputs from a finite storage of fossil fuels. In this book, you will learn about the three key requirements for wealth ... Read more

  • The Limits to Growth Revisited

    by Ugo Bardi ...
    Series series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
    “The Limits to Growth” (Meadows, 1972) generated unprecedented controversy with its predictions of the eventual collapse of the world's economies. First hailed as a great advance in science, “The Limits to Growth” was subsequently rejected and demonized. However, with many national economies now at risk and global peak oil apparently a reality, the methods, scenarios, and predictions of “The ... Read more

  • The Unity of Science and Economics

    A New Foundation of Economic Theory

    by Jing Chen ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    This book presents a new economic theory developed from physical and biological principles. It explains how technology, social systems and economic values are intimately related to resources. Many people have recognized that mainstream (neoclassical) economic theories are not consistent with physical laws and often not consistent with empirical patterns, but most feel that economic activities are ...

  • The Second Law of Economics

    Energy, Entropy, and the Origins of Wealth

    by Reiner Kümmel ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    Nothing happens in the world without energy conversion and entropy production. These fundamental natural laws are familiar to most of us when applied to the evolution of stars, biological processes, or the working of an internal combustion engine, but what about industrial economies and wealth production, or their constant companion, pollution? Does economics conform to the First and the Second ... Read more

  • The Physics of Stocks and Flows of Energy Systems

    Applications in Energy Policy

    by Hassan Qudrat-Ullah ...
    Series series Energy (R0)
    Using a system dynamics approach, this book illustrates the physics of fundamental accumulation processes (stocks and flows) across the demand and supply sectors of energy systems. Examples of system dynamics simulation models are presented where these accumulation processes are driving the behavior of the system. Based on these modeling efforts, two cases (the socio-economic and environmental ... Read more

  • Demography and Infrastructure

    National and Regional Aspects of Demographic Change

    Edited by Tobias Kronenberg, Wilhelm Kuckshinrichs ...
    Series series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
    Population ageing has been going on for many decades, but population shrinking is a rather new phenomenon. The population of Germany, as in many other countries, has passed a plateau and is currently shrinking. Demographic change is a challenge for infrastructure planning due to the longevity of infrastructure capital and the need to match supply and demand in order to ensure cost-efficiency. This ...

    Edited by Hassan Qudrat-Ullah ...
    Series series Energy (R0)
    The roles and applications of various modeling approaches, aimed at improving the usefulness of energy policy models in public decision making, are covered by this book. The development, validation, and applications of system dynamics and agent-based models in service of energy policy design and assessment in the 21st century is a key focus. A number of modeling approaches and models for energy ... Read more

  • Biomass Supply Chains for Bioenergy and Biorefining

    Edited by Jens Bo Holm-Nielsen, Ehiaze Augustine Ehimen ...
    Series series Woodhead Publishing Series in Energy
    Biomass Supply Chains for Bioenergy and Biorefining highlights the emergence of energy generation through the use of biomass and the ways it is becoming more widely used. The supply chains that produce the feedstocks, harvest, transport, store, and prepare them for combustion or refinement into other forms of fuel are long and complex, often differing from feedstock to feedstock. Biomass Supply ... Read more
