T1 - Unsustainable Future: The Mathematical Frame in Which We Live JF - Review of Business: Interdisciplinary Journal on Risk and Society N2 - Humankind, it can be argued, lives beyond its means and often at the expense of future generations. This paper starkly demonstrates, with the aid of a mathematical model, the imperative for a sustainable existence. In the model, consumption of resources is represented as a closed system, just like our planet. Long-term survival is only possible if consumption is below the ability of the system to regenerate.
