After an unprecedented—but bumpy—century of progress, the project of economic empowerment is about half done. The book explores what it would take to finish the job and what a future of shared prosperity could look like by 2100. Achieving this would require global GDP to be about 8.5 times higher than it is today. Will we have enough energy, materials, food, and innovation?
Drawing on decades of MGI research, the authors show that there is enough energy and sufficient minerals and metals to power growth and prosperity while protecting the planet; that we can comfortably grow food even for a population of 12 billion without using more land, and that there is plenty of juice left in the innovation machine. We do not see physical limits on growth, only limits in hearts and minds.
The session began with an overview of the report findings with authors Chris Bradley, Marc Canal, Nick Leung, and Sven Smit, followed by a panel moderated by Janet Bush.
