Is The World Infinitely Abundant?
Superabundance co-author Marian Tupy featured with Alex Epstein on Jordan Peterson's Alliance for Responsible Citizenship
We describe the process of transforming scarcities to abundances in our new book, Superabundance, available at Amazon. Jordan Peterson calls it a “profoundly optimistic book.” There has never been a better time to create more life.

If we transform a finite number of atoms into resources with knowledge and undiscovered knowledge is infinite, then our resources can be infinite. We need more people with the freedom to innovate to continue this process.
Thanks for your thoughtful comment J. K. I would say economics must move beyond thinking in atoms and think in knowledge. Physics is about atoms. Economics is about knowledge. The number of atoms is finite, but undiscovered knowledge is infinite. This is why the Second Law does not apply to economics. New knowledge can be much more valuable than finding new atoms. Atoms without knowledge have no economic value. If we discover a way to make cars get twice the mileage, doesn’t this yield the same result as discovering twice the amount of oil? And aren’t we actually better off with more knowledge than more oil? Thanks again for reading and thinking and talking with me.
