Article Abstract:
Progress, technology and economic growth are connected in very complex ways, and it can be difficult to clearly see the effect which each has on the others. However, addressing this issue is of vital importance to managers, producers and governments, especially in the light of growing concerns about sustainability. It could be argued that it is now time to adopt a completely new economic strategy, overcoming unemployment and poor living standards by using human labour instead of fossil fuel and physical substances extracted from the environment.
