Absolute and relative scarcity. Certainly challenges the accepted argument and offer our own position some support.
Interesting article, especially in relation to demolishing the concept of "unlimited wants". But it still seems to accept the concept of "absolute scarcity" or, as Fanning puts it, that "we live in a full world where the global economy is bumping against ecosystem limits." Obviously resources are not "absolutely abundant" but there are abundant enough in relation to likely human needs, i.e. there is "relative abundance", even though resources won't be able to be rationally used to meet needs until we've got rid of capitalism and its artificial scarcity and organised waste.
