"Urbanization, the industrialization of food systems, and the building of
highways may have contributed to GDP over the short term, but they have
created societal vulnerability over the longer term. In a world of Peak
Oil, scarce fresh water, unstable currencies, changing climate, and
declining trade, true “development” may require implementation of policies
at odds with — sometimes the very reverse of — those of recent decades."

Reality*
