| Abstract: | Continued exponential and asymmetrical growth in both population and individual economic productivity would propel world society along a path that is environmentally unsustainable, economically inequitable, and hence socially unstable. Terrorist activity in September 2001 may be vivid evidence of that instability. Revolutionary developments in communications technologies can, however, enable partnerships among scholarly disciplines and among societal institutions to harness rapidly expanding human knowledge to pursue goals in both population and individual economic productivity that would lead to a sustainable, equitable, and stable world society. Included are scenarios comparing the 23 high income OECD countries vs. the 40 least-developed countries (LDCs), scenarios comparing China with India, scenarios comparing the Russian Federation with Ireland, and scenarios for the Americas (Canada and USA vs. 34 nations in Latin America and Caribbean). |
