Chapter 3 (Exponential Growth): The most important Key Concept of the Crash Course, exponential growth, demonstrates how world population, oil consumption, US money supply, water use, forest loss, species extinction, and fishery exploitation are rapidly reaching their natural limits. The implications for your life are powerful, and demand attention. Chapter 4 (The Power of Compounding): Compounding, the first Key Concept of the Crash Course is explained in this installment.
