Subject: Thought Experiment: Economist vs Physicist
Hi Dr. Block: I was recently sent this link to a discussion between an economist and a physicist on the nature and possible extent of economic growth, and I’d like to hear your thoughts on it:

Dear CN: Remember the bet between Julian Simon and Paul Ehrlich? I supported the former, as does your “economist.” The “physicist” supports Ehrlich, the loser.
