� Introduction

� The Limits to Growth was published (Meadows et al., 1972 andMeadows et al., 1974).

� Turner (2008, 2012, 2014) and Hall and Day (2009) tend toconfirm the LtG standard run scenarios.

3/77

� IntroductionSustainable path or collapse?

4/77

� Introduction

� Consistent with increasing capital costs and net energy (thedecline of energy returned on energy invested, EROI).

� Growing scarcity of natural resources (energy, minerals, water...),while climate change plays little role, if any. (Caveat: Pollution).

� The question of whether global warming might per se induce asimilar breakdown of the world economy (cf. COP 21).

5/77

� IntroductionPaper’s framework

� We explicitly model the financial side of the world economy inorder to assess the possible negative feedback of debt on theability of the world economy to cope with the collapse.

� Pivotal role of private debt.� Losses due to environmental damages force the global

productive sector to invest a growing part of its wealth inrestoring and maintaining capital.

� The persistent level of debt may endanger the world economicengine itself as it is based on the promise of future wealthcreation.

6/77

� IntroductionPaper’s framework

� Depending upon the speed at which labor productivity increasescompared to the severity of global warming, the shrink ofinvestment induced by the burden of private debt may preventthe world economy from further adapting to the climate turmoil,leading ultimately to a collapse around the end of the twenty-firstcentury.

� The global collapse captured in this paper can be interpreted asthe result of a debt-deflation depression in the sense given to thisconcept by Irving Fisher (1933).

� That part of the world economy might be on the verge of fallinginto a liquidity trap is illustrated, today, by the two “lost decades”of Japan, of course, but also the recessionary state of theSouthern part of the Eurozone, obstinately negative long-terminterest rates on international financial markets and, last but notleast, the brutal contraction of the world nominal GDP in 2015(-6%, IMF (2016)).

7/77

� IntroductionPaper’s framework

� These paradoxes may be viewed as signals of the translation ofa secular decline induced by biophysical constraints into thefinancial sphere.

� The Keen (1995) ModelOverview

1. Since the financial crisis of 2007-2009, the ideas of HymanMinsky around the intrinsic instability of a monetary marketeconomy have experienced a significant revival.

2. Goodwin (1967): Lotka-Volterra logic of the wage share and theemployment rate.

3. Keen (1995): ’Black Swan’ event, or a Minsky moment can occur.4. Investment financed by endogenous money creation.
