The document summarizes a book that systematically investigates growth in nature and society, from microscopic organisms to empires and civilizations. It examines how growth governs organisms from microbes to galaxies and shapes human capabilities and economies. The book looks at growth at various levels, from diseases and crops to energy conversion and infrastructure that enable economic activities. It considers the challenges of tracing growth in complex systems like populations, cities, and empires over time. The trajectory of modern civilization in relation to material growth and environmental limits remains uncertain.
[=*READ*=] Growth: From Microorganisms to Megacities By - Vaclav Smilenrtg3709_sadvsf79
A systematic investigation of growth in nature and society, from tiny organisms to the trajectories of empires and civilizations.Growth has been both an unspoken and an explicit aim of our individual and collective striving. It governs the lives of microorganisms and galaxies; it shapes the capabilities of our extraordinarily large brains and the fortunes of our economies. Growth is manifested in annual increments of continental crust, a rising gross domestic product, a child's growth chart, the spread of cancerous cells. In this magisterial book, Vaclav Smil offers systematic investigation of growth in nature and society, from tiny organisms to the trajectories of empires and civilizations.Smil takes readers from bacterial invasions through animal metabolisms to megacities and the global economy. He begins with organisms whose mature sizes range from microscopic to enormous, looking at disease-causing microbes, the cultivation of staple crops, and human growth from infancy to .

THOMAS POGGE
REAL WORLD JUSTICE
(Received 14 May 2004; accepted in revised form 3 June 2004)
ABSTRACT. Despite a high and growing global average income, billions of
human beings are still condemned to lifelong severe poverty with all its attendant
evils of low life expectancy, social exclusion, ill health, illiteracy, dependency, and
effective enslavement. We citizens of the rich countries are conditioned to think of
this problem as an occasion for assistance. Thanks in part to the rationalizations
dispensed by our economists, most of us do not realize how deeply we are implicated,
through the new global economic order our states have imposed, in this ongoing
catastrophe. My sketch of how we are so implicated follows the argument of my
book, World Poverty and Human Rights, but takes the form of a response to the
book's critics.
KEY WORDS: causal explanation, development economics, global resources
dividend, harm, human rights, inequality, justice, negative duties, world poverty,
WTO
Can normative theories about global justice benefit from empirical
theories? This is a rhetorical question
- no one seriously argues that
we should think about global justice in ignorance of the facts. And
the question is also a bit tendentious, prodding us philosophers
(heads in the clouds or buried in sand) to pay more attention to the
real world as presented, most relevantly, by development econo
mists.
I agree that many philosophers working on global justice know
too little about the real world, but I also believe that we should
absorb the theories delivered by economists with a great deal of
caution. A prominent concept in economics is that of homo eco
nomicus, an individual who, single-mindedly and rationally, seeks
optimally to satisfy his preferences. Such imaginary creatures are
not good approximations of persons in the real world. But, as

A systematic investigation of growth in nature and society, from tiny organisms to the trajectories
of empires and civilizations.Growth has been both an unspoken and an explicit aim of our
individual and collective striving. It governs the lives of microorganisms and galaxies it shapes the
capabilities of our extraordinarily large brains and the fortunes of our economies. Growth is
manifested in annual increments of continental crust, a rising gross domestic product, a child's
growth chart, the spread of cancerous cells. In this magisterial book, Vaclav Smil offers systematic
investigation of growth in nature and society, from tiny organisms to the trajectories of empires and
civilizations.Smil takes readers from bacterial invasions through animal metabolisms to megacities
and the global economy. He begins with organisms whose mature sizes range from microscopic to
enormous, looking at disease-causing microbes, the cultivation of staple crops, and human growth
from infancy to adulthood. He examines the growth of energy conversions and man-made objects
that enable economic activities—developments that have been essential to civilization. Finally, he
looks at growth in complex systems, beginning with the growth of human populations and
proceeding to the growth of cities. He considers the challenges of tracing the growth of empires
and civilizations, explaining that we can chart the growth of organisms across individual and
evolutionary time, but that the progress of societies and economies, not so linear, encompasses
both decline and renewal. The trajectory of modern civilization, driven by competing imperatives of
material growth and biospheric limits, Smil tells us, remains uncertain.
