For most of human history, scarcity was the enemy. Be it territory, land, wealth, calories, or energy, the majority of conflict and technological innovation was driven by the fact that resources were scarce. With the incredible explosion in scientific knowledge and technological advancement over the last few hundred years, the dynamic has shifted. Scarcity has not vanished across the globe, but in the wealthier and more advanced portions of the world, many of the critical material deficiencies have seen significant relief. The problem that many affluent nations now face is that the artificial solutions they developed to alleviate scarcity have proven just as dangerous as the scarcity itself, if not more dangerous.
