Joseph A. Tainter
“Wenn eine Gesellschaft nicht mit der Erschöpfung ihrer Ressourcen umgehen kann, drehen sich die wirklich interessanten Fragen um die Gesellschaft und nicht um die Ressource. Welche strukturellen, politischen, ideologischen oder wirtschaftlichen Faktoren in der Gesellschaft verhinderten eine angemessene Reaktion”
Joseph A. Tainter, The Collapse of Complex Societies

“It is about pausing constantly to ask, “Am I investing in the right activities?” There are far more activities and opportunities in the world than we have time and resources to invest in.”
Greg McKeown, Essentialism The Disciplined Pursuit of Less, Deep Work, So Good They Cant Ignore You 3 Books Collection Set
