The unfolding of Khazzoom-Brooke’s Postulate that as we innovate to optimize efficient uses of resources, consumption rebounded at higher rates ; forces of production increase to generate more growth is finally on collision course with planetary boundaries & ever declining social justice.

(b) the impact of this unfettered growth on climate change in face of planetary boundaries, and (c) how certain principles of the Bahai Faith provide a new global construct to address this outcome.
