Tim Jackson: The High Price Of Growth
A finite planet cannot sustain infinite economic growth. Modern society is addicted to and engineered for perpetual economic growth. Now, a fourth-grader can tell you that nothing can grow forever, especially if you have finite resources.

Global Inflation Continues To Underwhelm
Chinese producer prices accelerated in September 2017, while consumer price increases slowed.
