Steady-State Economics
Abstract
Beginning with the Classical Economists’ concept of a stationary state we follow its theoretical development to modern steady-state economics with suggested policies to limit throughput, population, and distributive inequality in order to fit the physical economy within the confines of the laws of thermodynamics and of our interdependent and finite biosphere. Consequent changes in the production function, GDP accounting, and the concept of efficiency are considered. A brief comparison of Steady-State Economics with the more recent Degrowth, and Circular Economy movements ends the discussion.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
