Andrew McAfee on More from Less

Andrew McAfee talks about his book, More from Less, with host Russ Roberts. He argues that technology is helping developed nations use fewer resources to produce more output, reducing energy use in total. This "dematerialization" portends a future that was unimaginable to the economists and pundits of the past. McAfee discusses the potential for dealing with climate change in a dematerialized world, the non-material aspects of economic progress, and the political repercussions of the current distribution of economic progress.
