Breaking Down: Collapse
Episode 63 - Why We're Wrong (or so they say): Resource Scarcity
Ep. 63
•
This podcast, and the exploration of collapse itself, can be a bit of an echo chamber. In this sub-series we want to take an honest look at the counter-arguments that exist which try to explain why collapse won't happen. In this episode, we take a look at the arguments against resource scarcity.
