Pearson was a leading English scholar of the time, with a field of interests that coincided with Georgescu-Roegen's own, namely mathematics, statistics, and philosophy of science. Georgescu-Roegen made arrangements to lodge with the family of a young Englishman he had met in Paris and left for England in 1931. During his stay in London, his hosts not only accepted Georgescu-Roegen as their paying guest, but also taught him the basics of the English language, in preparation for his studies in the country. </p> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Journalofheredit07ameruoft_0448.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/c9/Journalofheredit07ameruoft_0448.jpg/170px-Journalofheredit07ameruoft_0448.jpg" decoding="async" width="170" height="238" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/c9/Journalofheredit07ameruoft_0448.jpg/255px-Journalofheredit07ameruoft_0448.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/c9/Journalofheredit07ameruoft_0448.jpg/340px-Journalofheredit07ameruoft_0448.jpg 2x" data-file-width="955" data-file-height="1338" /></a><figcaption>Pearson's field of interests coincided with Georgescu-Roegen's own.</figcaption></figure> <p>When he approached Pearson and the English university system, Georgescu-Roegen was amazed with the informality and openness he found. There was no more feeling like a <i>métèque</i>, a stranger. Studying with Pearson for the next two years and reading Pearson's work on the philosophy of science, titled <i><a href="/wiki/The_Grammar_of_Science" title="The Grammar of Science">The Grammar of Science</a></i>, further shaped Georgescu-Roegen's scientific methodology and philosophy. The two became friends, and Pearson encouraged Georgescu-Roegen to carry on with his studies in mathematical statistics. They co-pioneered research on the so-called "problem of <a href="/wiki/Moment_(mathematics)" title="Moment (mathematics)">moments</a>", one of the most difficult topics in statistics at the time, but neither was able to solve the problem. This was a great disappointment to Pearson, but Georgescu-Roegen was pleased by their joint effort nonetheless. </p><p>While studying in London, Georgescu-Roegen was contacted by a representative of the U.S.-based <a href="/wiki/Rockefeller_Foundation" title="Rockefeller Foundation">Rockefeller Foundation</a>. Due to his past academic achievements, the foundation wanted to grant Georgescu-Roegen a research fellowship in the U.S. Georgescu-Roegen had earlier learned of the use of time series analyses by the then famous Harvard Economic Barometer at <a href="/wiki/Harvard_University" title="Harvard University">Harvard University</a>, so he accepted the grant. The trip was put off for about a year, however, as he had more pressing obligations in Romania: He needed to conclude his first national editorial project, a 500-page manual on <i>Metoda Statistică</i>, and he had to care for his aging widowed mother who was in bad health. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Trip_to_the_United_States,_meeting_Schumpeter"><span id="Trip_to_the_United_States.2C_meeting_Schumpeter"></span>Trip to the United States, meeting Schumpeter</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Nicholas_Georgescu-Roegen&amp;action=edit&amp;section=3" title="Edit section: Trip to the United States, meeting Schumpeter"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1236090951">.mw-parser-output .hatnote{font-style:italic}.mw-parser-output div.hatnote{padding-left:1.6em;margin-bottom:0.5em}.mw-parser-output .hatnote i{font-style:normal}.mw-parser-output .hatnote+link+.hatnote{margin-top:-0.5em}@media print{body.ns-0 .mw-parser-output .hatnote{display:none!important}}</style><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">See also: <a href="/wiki/Harvard_University" title="Harvard University">Harvard University</a></div> <p>In autumn 1934, Georgescu-Roegen went to the United States.

In Schumpeter, Georgescu-Roegen had found a competent and sympathetic mentor. Although Georgescu-Roegen never formally enrolled in any economics classes, this was how he became an economist: "Schumpeter turned me into an economist ...

He wanted to go back to Romania in order to serve his backward fatherland that had sponsored most of his education so far; besides, his return was expected at home.

Introducing the term 'low entropy' for valuable <a href="/wiki/Natural_resource" title="Natural resource">natural resources</a>, and the term 'high entropy' for valueless <a href="/wiki/Waste" title="Waste">waste</a> and <a href="/wiki/Pollution" title="Pollution">pollution</a>, Georgescu-Roegen explains that all the economic process does from a physical point of view is to irreversibly transform low entropy into high entropy, thereby providing a flow of natural resources for people to live on. The irreversibility of this economic process is the reason why natural resources are scarce: <a href="/wiki/Recycling" title="Recycling">Recycling</a> of material resources is possible, but only by using up some energy resources plus an additional amount of other material resources; and energy resources, in turn, cannot be recycled at all, but are dissipated as <a href="/wiki/Waste_heat" title="Waste heat">waste heat</a> (according to the entropy law).<sup id="cite_ref-ngr01_4-6" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-ngr01-4"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup><sup class="reference nowrap"><span title="Page / location: 277–282">&#58;&#8202;277–282&#8202;</span></sup> </p> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:The_Sun.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/eb/The_Sun.jpg/220px-The_Sun.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="165" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/eb/The_Sun.jpg/330px-The_Sun.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/eb/The_Sun.jpg/440px-The_Sun.jpg 2x" data-file-width="2048" data-file-height="1536" /></a><figcaption>The sun will continue to shine on earth for billions of years to come.</figcaption></figure> <p>Georgescu-Roegen points out that the earth is a <a href="/wiki/Closed_system#In_thermodynamics" title="Closed system">closed system</a> in the thermodynamic sense of the term: the earth exchanges energy, but not matter (practically) with the rest of the universe. Hence, mainly two sources of low entropy are available to man, namely the stock of mineral resources in the crust of the earth; and the flow of radiation, received from the <a href="/wiki/Sun" title="Sun">sun</a>. Since the sun will continue to shine for billions of years to come, the earth's mineral stock is the scarcer one of these two main sources of low entropy. Whereas the stock of minerals may be extracted from the <a href="/wiki/Structure_of_the_Earth#Crust" class="mw-redirect" title="Structure of the Earth">crust of the earth</a> at a rate of our own choosing (practically), the flow of solar radiation arrives at the surface of the earth at a constant and fixed rate, beyond human control, Georgescu-Roegen maintains. This natural 'asymmetry' between man's access to the stock of minerals and the flow of solar energy accounts for the historical contrast between urban and rural life: The busy urban life, on the one hand, is associated with industry and the impatient extraction of minerals; the tranquil rural life, on the other hand, is associated with agriculture and the patient reception of the fixed flow of solar energy. Georgescu-Roegen argues that this 'asymmetry' helps explain the historical subjection of the countryside by the town since the dawn of civilisation, and he criticises <a href="/wiki/Karl_Marx" title="Karl Marx">Karl Marx</a> for not taking this subjection properly into account in his theory of <a href="/wiki/Historical_materialism" title="Historical materialism">historical materialism</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-ngr01_4-7" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-ngr01-4"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup><sup class="reference nowrap"><span title="Page / location: 313">&#58;&#8202;313&#8202;</span></sup> </p> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Amazone_allg._Maschinenprogramm_Verfahrensdarstellung.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/fc/Amazone_allg._Maschinenprogramm_Verfahrensdarstellung.jpg/220px-Amazone_allg._Maschinenprogramm_Verfahrensdarstellung.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="147" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/fc/Amazone_allg._Maschinenprogramm_Verfahrensdarstellung.jpg/330px-Amazone_allg._Maschinenprogramm_Verfahrensdarstellung.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/fc/Amazone_allg._Maschinenprogramm_Verfahrensdarstellung.jpg/440px-Amazone_allg._Maschinenprogramm_Verfahrensdarstellung.jpg 2x" data-file-width="800" data-file-height="533" /></a><figcaption>Modern mechanised agriculture relies heavily on mineral inputs.</figcaption></figure> <p>Georgescu-Roegen explains that modern <a href="/wiki/Mechanised_agriculture" title="Mechanised agriculture">mechanised agriculture</a> has developed historically as a result of the growing pressure of population on arable land; but the relief of this pressure by means of mechanisation has only substituted a scarcer source of input for the more abundant input of solar radiation: <a href="/wiki/Agricultural_machinery" title="Agricultural machinery">Machinery</a>, <a href="/wiki/Fertilizer" title="Fertilizer">chemical fertilisers</a> and <a href="/wiki/Pesticide" title="Pesticide">pesticides</a> all rely on mineral resources for their operation, rendering modern agriculture&#160;– and the industrialised food processing and distribution systems associated with it&#160;– almost as dependent on earth's mineral stock as the industrial sector has always been.

The fund factors constitute the agents of the economic process, and the flow factors are used or acted upon by these agents. Unlike a stock factor, a fund factor cannot be used (decumulated) at will, as its rate of utilisation depends on the distinct physical properties of the fund (labour power and farmland, for instance, may run the risk of overuse and exhaustion if proper care is not taken). </p> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Diagram_of_natural_resource_flows-en.svg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/94/Diagram_of_natural_resource_flows-en.svg/220px-Diagram_of_natural_resource_flows-en.svg.png" decoding="async" width="220" height="231" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/94/Diagram_of_natural_resource_flows-en.svg/330px-Diagram_of_natural_resource_flows-en.svg.png 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/94/Diagram_of_natural_resource_flows-en.svg/440px-Diagram_of_natural_resource_flows-en.svg.png 2x" data-file-width="794" data-file-height="834" /></a><figcaption>Natural resources flow through the economy and end up as waste and pollution.</figcaption></figure> <p>Contrary to neoclassical production theory, Georgescu-Roegen identifies nature as the exclusive primary source of all factors of production.

This transformation constitutes a unidirectional and irreversible process. Consequently, valuable <a href="/wiki/Natural_resource" title="Natural resource">natural resources</a> ("low entropy") are procured by the input end of the economy; the resources flow through the economy, being transformed and manufactured into goods along the way; and unvaluable <a href="/wiki/Waste" title="Waste">waste</a> and <a href="/wiki/Pollution" title="Pollution">pollution</a> ("high entropy") eventually accumulate by the output end.

A process where pure energy is transformed into useful materials remains to be discovered.</figcaption></figure> <p>In response to the position of Solow and Stiglitz, Georgescu-Roegen argues that neoclassical economists generally fail to realise the important difference between material resources and energy resources in the economic process. This is where his flow-fund model of production comes into play (<a href="#The_production_process_and_the_flow-fund_model">see above</a>). Georgescu-Roegen's point is that only material resources can be transformed into man-made capital. Energy resources, on the other hand, cannot be so transformed, as it is physically impossible to turn energy into matter, and matter is what man-made capital is made up of physically. The only possible role to be performed by energy resources is to assist&#160;– usually as <a href="/wiki/Fuel" title="Fuel">fuel</a> or <a href="/wiki/Electricity_generation" title="Electricity generation">electricity</a>&#160;– in the process of transforming material resources into man-made capital. In Georgescu-Roegen's own terminology, energy may have the form of either a stock factor (mineral deposits in nature), or a flow factor (resources transformed in the economy); but never that of a fund factor (man-made capital in the economy). Hence, substituting man-made capital for energy resources is physically impossible. </p><p>Furthermore, not all material resources are transformed into man-made capital; instead, some material resources are manufactured directly into consumer goods having only a limited durability. Finally, in the course of time, all man-made capital depreciates, wears out and needs replacement; but both old and new man-made capital is made out of material resources to begin with. All in all, the economic process is indeed a process with steadily increasing entropy, and the 'mechanical' notion of across the board substitutability prevalent in neoclassical economics is untenable, Georgescu-Roegen submits.<sup id="cite_ref-ngr02_42-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-ngr02-42"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>42<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup><sup class="reference nowrap"><span title="Page / location: 359–363">&#58;&#8202;359–363&#8202;</span></sup><sup id="cite_ref-ngr05_85-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-ngr05-85"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>81<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup><sup class="reference nowrap"><span title="Page / location: 98">&#58;&#8202;98&#8202;</span></sup><sup id="cite_ref-hd03_36-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-hd03-36"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>36<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup><sup class="reference nowrap"><span title="Page / location: 127–136">&#58;&#8202;127–136&#8202;</span></sup><sup id="cite_ref-km03_82-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-km03-82"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>79<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> </p><p>Contrary to the neoclassical position, Georgescu-Roegen argues that flow factors and fund factors (that is, natural resources and man-made capital) are essentially <a href="/wiki/Complementary_good#Perfect_complement" title="Complementary good">complementary</a>, since both are needed in the economic process in order to have a working economy. Georgescu-Roegen's conclusion, then, is that the allocation of exhaustible mineral resources between present and future generations is a large problem that cannot, and should not, be relaxed or ignored: "There seems to be no way to do away with the dictatorship of the present over the future, although we may aim at making it as bearable as possible."<sup id="cite_ref-ngr05_85-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-ngr05-85"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>81<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup><sup class="reference nowrap"><span title="Page / location: 105">&#58;&#8202;105&#8202;</span></sup> Georgescu-Roegen's followers and interpreters have since been discussing the existential impossibility of allocating earth's finite stock of mineral resources evenly among an unknown number of present and future generations.

Due to the <a href="/wiki/Geology" title="Geology">geologic</a> fact that <a href="/wiki/Mineral_resource_classification" title="Mineral resource classification">mineral ores are deposited and concentrated very unevenly in the crust of the earth</a>, <a href="/wiki/Mining" title="Mining">prospecting for and extraction of mineral resources</a> will sooner or later be faced with the principle of <a href="/wiki/Diminishing_returns" title="Diminishing returns">diminishing returns</a>, whereby extraction activities are pushed to <a href="/wiki/Peak_minerals#Future_production" title="Peak minerals">still less accessible sites and still lower grades of ores</a>. In the course of time, then, extraction costs and market prices of the incremental amount of resources will tend to increase. Eventually, all minerals will be exhausted, but the <i>economic</i> exhaustion will manifest itself long before the <i>physical</i> exhaustion provides the ultimate backstop for further activity: There will still be deposits of resources left in the crust, but the geologic concentration of these deposits will remain below the critical <a href="/wiki/Cutoff_grade" title="Cutoff grade">cutoff grade</a>; hence, continued extraction will no longer pay off, and the market for these resources will then collapse. This long-term dynamics will work itself through any economic (sub-)system, regardless of the system's geographical location, its size and its state of development (whether a progressive, a steady or a declining state). In effect, the arguments advanced by Daly in support of his steady-state economy apply with even greater force in support of a <a href="/wiki/Steady-state_economy#Declining-state_economy" title="Steady-state economy">declining-state economy</a>, Georgescu-Roegen points out: When the overall purpose is to ration and stretch mineral resource use for as long time into the future as possible, zero economic growth is more desirable than growth is, true; but negative growth is better still! In this context, Georgescu-Roegen also criticises Daly for not specifying <i>at what levels</i> man-made capital and human population are to be kept constant in the steady-state. </p><p><span class="anchor" id="Bioeconomic_program"></span> Instead of Daly's steady-state economics, Georgescu-Roegen proposed his own so-called '<a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://people.unipi.it/tommaso_luzzati/economia-ambiente-e-politiche-ambientali/programma-bioeconomico-minimale/746-2/">minimal bioeconomic program</a>', featuring quantitative restrictions even more severe than <a href="/wiki/Steady-state_economy#Daly&#39;s_institutions" title="Steady-state economy">those propounded by Daly</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-ngr02_42-7" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-ngr02-42"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>42<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup><sup class="reference nowrap"><span title="Page / location: 374–379">&#58;&#8202;374–379&#8202;</span></sup><sup id="cite_ref-jg01_7-7" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-jg01-7"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup><sup class="reference nowrap"><span title="Page / location: 150–153">&#58;&#8202;150–153&#8202;</span></sup><sup id="cite_ref-mm01_43-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-mm01-43"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>43<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup><sup class="reference nowrap"><span title="Page / location: 13f">&#58;&#8202;13f&#8202;</span></sup><sup id="cite_ref-ap01_55-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-ap01-55"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>54<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup><sup class="reference nowrap"><span title="Page / location: 142–146">&#58;&#8202;142–146&#8202;</span></sup><sup id="cite_ref-93" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-93"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>note 5<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> </p><p><span class="anchor" id="Daly&#39;s_concession"></span> Herman Daly on his part has readily accepted his teacher's judgement on this subject matter: In order to compensate for the principle of <a href="/wiki/Diminishing_returns" title="Diminishing returns">diminishing returns</a> in mineral resource extraction, an ever greater share of capital and labour in the economy will gradually have to be transferred to the mining sector, thereby skewing the initial structure of any steady-state system. Even more important is it that the steady-state economy will serve only to postpone, and not to prevent, the inevitable mineral resource exhaustion anyway. "A steady-state economy cannot last forever, but neither can a growing economy, nor a declining economy", Daly concedes in his response to Georgescu-Roegen's criticism. In the same turn, Daly confirms Georgescu-Roegen's general argument that earth's <a href="/wiki/Carrying_capacity" title="Carrying capacity">carrying capacity</a> is decreasing as mankind is

Both viable and feasible technologies depend on a steady flow of natural resources for their operation. </p> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Jos%C3%A9_Mar%C3%ADa_Velasco_-_Scene_from_the_Quaternary_upper_Paleolithic_Period_-_Google_Art_Project.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/8d/Jos%C3%A9_Mar%C3%ADa_Velasco_-_Scene_from_the_Quaternary_upper_Paleolithic_Period_-_Google_Art_Project.jpg/170px-Jos%C3%A9_Mar%C3%ADa_Velasco_-_Scene_from_the_Quaternary_upper_Paleolithic_Period_-_Google_Art_Project.jpg" decoding="async" width="170" height="250" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/8d/Jos%C3%A9_Mar%C3%ADa_Velasco_-_Scene_from_the_Quaternary_upper_Paleolithic_Period_-_Google_Art_Project.jpg/255px-Jos%C3%A9_Mar%C3%ADa_Velasco_-_Scene_from_the_Quaternary_upper_Paleolithic_Period_-_Google_Art_Project.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/8d/Jos%C3%A9_Mar%C3%ADa_Velasco_-_Scene_from_the_Quaternary_upper_Paleolithic_Period_-_Google_Art_Project.jpg/340px-Jos%C3%A9_Mar%C3%ADa_Velasco_-_Scene_from_the_Quaternary_upper_Paleolithic_Period_-_Google_Art_Project.jpg 2x" data-file-width="2061" data-file-height="3033" /></a><figcaption>Prometheus I: The mastering of fire in the <a href="/wiki/Paleolithic" title="Paleolithic">Palaeolithic Era</a>.</figcaption></figure> <p>Georgescu-Roegen argues that the first viable technology in <a href="/wiki/Human_history" title="Human history">human history</a> was <a href="/wiki/Fire" title="Fire">fire</a>.

According to Ayres, it is possible to develop what he conceptualises as a <a href="/wiki/Spaceship_earth" class="mw-redirect" title="Spaceship earth">'spaceship economy' on earth</a> on a stable and permanent basis, provided that a sufficient flow of energy is available to support it (for example, by an ample supply of <a href="/wiki/Solar_power" title="Solar power">solar energy</a>). In this spaceship economy, all waste materials will be temporarily discarded and stored in inactive reservoirs&#160;– or what he calls 'waste baskets'&#160;– before being recycled and returned to active use in the economic system at some later point in time. It will not be necessary, or even possible, for materials recycling to form its own separate and continuous flow to be of use&#160;– only, the waste baskets in question have to be large enough to compensate for the rate and the efficiency of the recycling effort. In effect, complete and perpetual recycling of material resources will be possible in a future spaceship economy of this kind specified, thereby rendering obsolete Georgescu-Roegen's proposed fourth law of thermodynamics, Ayres submits.<sup id="cite_ref-ra01_83-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-ra01-83"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>80<span
