| Title: A mathematical model for Global Economics | |
| Abstract: The paper’s first aim is to make a rough estimate for the natural limits of economic growth from the last 20 years’ results of sustainability science and alternative economics, under three headings: 1. ENVIRONMENTAL: biocapacity limits, 2. ECONOMIC: dropping marginal efficiency of material wealth on human happiness, 3. SOCIAL: acceptable and bearable inequality. From this three border conditions we arrive to a new model of sustainable and humane economics, and conclude an innovative definition, concentrating future economics on abundant instead of scarce resources. This should be noted and revolutionize economic and business education. We partly summarize our previous research, partly formulate new models, partly draft future research of moral economics. | |
