- Abstract
An interview with Donald Worster, a professor of World History at Renmin University of China, is presented. When asked whether capitalism was stimulated by the abundance of the Second Earth, he explains that growth had not happened and change happened when economics started to develop in the U.S. Worster shares his views on the discovery of fossil fuels and planetary limits such as land use change and nitrogen-cycle disruption, He also talks about his book on the decline of American abundance.
