Today, on CNN’s Global Public Square, Fareed Zakaria
interviewed Andrew McAfee, author of “More for Less: The Surprising Story of
How We Learned to Prosper Using Fewer Resources – and What Happens Next”, 352
pages, from Scribner, publisher link.
The author points out that we are producing much more wealth
with fewer resources, and that our need for energy consumption has plateaued.
Zakaria had started the interview by noting that today’s young
adult generation wonders if it will be called upon to demonstrate the “personal
virtue of restraint”, and give up flying, driving alone, air conditioning, and hot
showers, and especially meat.
