These multi-disciplinary contributions situate contemporary concerns about scarcity within their longer history, and address recent forecasts and debates surrounding the future scarcity of fossil fuels, renewable energy and water up to 2075. This book offers a fresh way of tackling the current challenge of meeting global needs in an increasingly resource-stressed environment. By bringing together scholars from a variety of academic disciplines, this volume provides an innovative multi-disciplinary perspective that corrects previous scholarship which has discussed scientific and cultural issues separately. In doing so, it recognizes that this challenge is complex and cannot be addressed by a single discipline, but requires a concerted effort to think about its political and social, as well as technical and economic dimensions. This volume is essential for all students and scholars of environmental and economic history."--Bloomsbury Publishing. 606 $aScarcity 606 $aSupply and demand$xHistory 606 $aEconomics$xSociolotical aspects 615 0$aScarcity. 615 0$aSupply and demand$xHistory. 615 0$aEconomics$xSociolotical aspects. 676 $a338.5/213 702 $aBrewer$b John 702 $aFromer$b Neil Alan 702 $aJonsson$b Fredrik Albritton$f1972- 702 $aTrentmann$b Frank 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910552995203321 996 $aScarcity in the modern world$92809878 997 $aUNINA
