Part the First: Scientists to the Rescue?  Economic growth is not the answer to any of our problems in this finite world.  Development without increased material and energy throughput in the economy is possible, however.  This has been recognized for a long time by the few perspicacious heterodox economists who realize that economics is not a natural science despite its excessive and generally spurious theoretical mathematization. …
