This universe is
finite, its resources,
finite…
if life is left
unchecked, life will
cease to exist.
It needs correction.
Economics is not about atoms
Economics is about knowledge
The difference
between our
age and the
Stone Age is
entirely due to
the growth in
knowledge.
George Gilder
Make me
an iPhone We need
Innovation
Sorry, I don't
have the
knowledge
Knowledge transforms
atoms into resources
Economics is the study of
how human beings create
value for one another by
discovering knowledge
Resources = Atoms + Knowledge
Quiz
True or False?
Can resources be infinite?
Yes or No: Why?
