Growth Scenario for the 21st Century
Professor Gento Mogi
- Joint Chair of GS+I
- Graduate Course of Technology Management for Innovation, School of Engineering
20th Century growth has been achieved based on social acceptance of limitless usage of resources including the environment as public goods, labor force, natural resource, and endless abundant investment of financial capital as well as logistics and communication that resulted in reduction of unevenness in regional distribution. However, as we entered 21st century, it is increasingly more often being pointed out that the growth will no longer be sustainable in near future due to the limit of global environment tolerance and the depletion of fossil fuels.
