Abstract

A series of charts - graphs, tables, and lists of facts - developed at the Hudson Institute presents a cautiously optimistic view of the economic world of the future. The next 20 years, however, may be a period of malaise in the advanced countries, with the fastest economic growth occurring in the rising middle-income countries. The economic past and future are put in a time perspective which projects the transition from a super-industrial to a post-industrial age by the end of the 22nd Century. The charts include new areas of emphasis, pros and cons of economic and technological growth, and some of the issues facing mankind.

Next 200 years: a scenario for America and the world

Book Kahn, H. ; Brown, W. ; Martel, L.

In this work the authors, with assistance of the staff of the Hudson Institute, confront the issue of the second half of the twentieth century; whether technological and economic growth tends to destroy mankind or to improve the prospects for peace and prosperity. The population explosion, coupled with economic growth, could prove catastrophic within a century, or so say the prophets of doom; therefore, economic growth must be severely limited. Mr. Kahn and his associates do not agree. Not only will the world's population increase at a slower rate, but the world can afford prosperity. Studies undertaken at the Hudsonmore »« less
Atoms for Peace After 50 Years: The New Challenges and Opportunities

Technical Report Schock, R N

This report draws on a series of international workshops held to mark the fiftieth anniversary of President Dwight D. Eisenhower's Atoms for Peace address before the United Nations General Assembly. A half-century after President Eisenhower's landmark speech, the world is vastly different, but mankind still faces the challenge he identified--gaining the benefits of nuclear technology in a way that limits the risks to security. Fifty years after Eisenhower declared that the people of the world should be ''armed with the significant facts of today's existence,'' the consequences of his bold vision should be evaluated to provide a foundation upon whichmore »« less

Distributing resources for economic growth. [Not limited by physical shortages but world political systems inability to allocate resources]

Journal Article Brooks, H. - Technol. Rev.; (United States)

Economic growth in the past century was characterized by rising costs of labor relative to resources and energy. The next century will see a long-term shift from high costs of labor to high costs of resources. Energy has been substituted for labor where possible. It took about 3.5 less manhours and a great amount of energy to produce a ton of almost any mineral in 1975 compared to 1921. The trend will continue; minerals will be hard to find, extract, and process and a new era of rapid growth of the labor force is beginning. The author predicts that withmore »« less
A Roadmap for Nuclear Energy Technology

Journal Article Sofu, Tanju - AIP Conference Proceedings

The prospects for the future use of nuclear energy worldwide can best be understood within the context of global population growth, urbanization, rising energy need and associated pollution concerns. As the world continues to urbanize, sustainable development challenges are expected to be concentrated in cities of the lower-middle-income countries where the pace of urbanization is fastest. As these countries continue their trajectory of economic development, their energy need will also outpace their population growth adding to the increased demand for electricity. OECD IEA’s energy system deployment pathway foresees doubling of the current global nuclear capacity by 2050 to reduce themore »« less

Oil in the economic development of Nigeria (optimum utilization of oil revenues in economic growth)

Thesis/Dissertation Nnaji, G.I.

Nigeria's economy experienced stunted growth in 1973-84 period in spite of the huge inflow of oil revenues. This dissertation addresses the issue of optimal utilization of oil revenues to promote Nigeria's economic growth. The study begins by reviewing the behavior of the oil market and the experiences of some industrialized oil-exporting countries (Netherlands, Britain and Norway), focusing on the general problems of managing oil income. Drawing from above experiences, it examines the general performance of Nigeria's economy in 1973-84 period. Evidences of retarded economic growth, rising inflation, unemployment, and massive imports, all suggest Nigeria's inability to expand its productive capacity,more »« less
