Briefly describe the Cornucopian and Cassandran economic positions relative to their environmental views
What will be an ideal response?
Cornucopians such as Julian Simon feel that whenever we face an economic transition stemming from a resource which is in short supply, our innate ingenuity and innovative capacity will see us through. The means may be insights into new materials to use, recycling and reuse strategies, marketplace adjustments, or some combination of these. They point to instances in the past where just such innovation and ingenuity have gotten us past a seeming economic dead end. On the other hand, Cassandrans such as the Limits to Growth team of the 1970s observe that earth's resources are finite and subject to depletion (nonrenewables) or severe stress (renewables). This reality, coupled with a constantly growing population, has to guide models for sustainable economics of the future.
