Infinite growth

The delusion and danger of infinite economic growth is attributed to Robert Solow who said "If it is very easy to substitute other factors for natural resources, then there is, in principle, no problem. The world can, in effect, get along without natural resources" (Solow, R. (1974). "The economics of resources or the resources of economics." Amer. Econ. Rev. 2: 1-14) via http://www.uvm.edu/~jfarley/publications/Limits_to_Growth_revised%20clean.doc
