Energy and Economic Growth synopsis

Access to new energy sources and efficient conversion of useful works have been key drivers of economic growth since the Industrial Revolution. Western countries now need to shift their energy systems away from the only quest for economic growth to reduce carbon emissions and allow the environmental space of other countries to develop in a more sustainable way.

Achieving this requires understanding the dynamics of economic and industrial change with an assessment of the economies' dependence on ecosystems. Thus, economic growth and growth study the linkages between three issues: the history of energy sources, technologies and uses; environmental challenges associated with the current economic growth model; and the future low carbon transition to mitigate human-induced climate change.

By providing a historical understanding of the relevant links between physical, social and economic changes, the reader can better understand the relationship between their energy use and global economic and environmental systems, and be able to ask the right questions in our political policy. And business leaders.

This is a valuable resource for students, scholars and policymakers interested in energy, climate change and economic thinking.
