This thesis uses neoclassical growth models to evaluate what effect the limited availability of nonrenewable resources has on the economy’s (world’s) growth potential. Markus Merz concludes that recycling may serve as a mid-term solution to continued growth, but technological progress is needed in the long-run. The theoretical analysis starts with the well-known Dasgupta-Heal model and considers the effect of recycling and technological progress on the resource constraints; resource-augmenting and backstop technology are analyzed. After a thorough analysis of the models it is concluded that the ultimate solution to long-term economic growth is a backstop technology.

Wurden die Grundeinstellungen europäischer Bürger bisher fast exklusiv durch quantitative Methoden beobachtet und erklärt, so geht die in diesem Buch vorgestellte international vergleichende Studie einen anderen Weg: Das Ziel der von 2006 bis 2009 durchgeführten Erhebungen war es, genauere qualitative Untersuchungstechniken einzusetzen, um so die Komplexität und Vielfalt der Wahrnehmungen und Reaktionen der »Normalbürger« besser wiederzugeben. Ein wichtiger Beitrag zur Vielfalt der Einstellungen zu Europa und zur Erklärung der allgemeinen Distanz der meisten Bürger in Bezug auf die EU. »Ein äußerst wichtiges Buch, das nicht nur neue Perspektiven für die Europa-Forschung aufzeigt, sondern zugleich ein kritisches Wissen zu Europa-Grundeinstellungen vermittelt.« Peter Pichler, Das Historisch-Politische Buch, 60/2 (2012) »Gelungen.« Björn Wagner, Portal für Politikwissenschaft, 01.09.2011 Besprochen in: Thüringische Landeszeitung, 07.01.2012, Fritz von Klinggräff Soziologische Revue, 35 (2012), Elias Naumann
