David RuffnerI came across this chapter by M. King Hubbert on "Exponential Growth as a Transient Phenomenon in Human History" written in 1976. It lays out clearly how non-renewable resources will run out and human society will go back to a steady state situation. The question is whether it will crash first or level off by transitioning to renewable energy.
The only quibble I have with the article is they he mentions money as something that can grow exponentially for ever. Money can decouple temporarily from the physical world, but for it to be useful there needs to be some coupling. So monetary and economic growth will also end.
