This however is not a theory of economic collapse involving the breakdown of freely functioning financial markets; rather, the focus is on economic malfunction and crisis emanating from state control. </p><p>However, many Austrian economists also subscribe to what is called the "ABCT", or Austrian Business Cycle Theory.

The "boom" was created by "malinvestments," as Mises called them; business decisions that are bad investments and unsustainable in the long run because lowering interest rates by padding the supply of money and credit will only work in the short-term, but will ultimately collapse because the government can only hold down interest rates so long before fear of inflation kicks in (and deflation comes at the peak of the business cycle), or they go into hyperinflation (which is completely outside the realm of the ABCT). </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Georgescu-Roegen's_theory_of_Earth's_ever_decreasing_carrying_capacity"><span id="Georgescu-Roegen.27s_theory_of_Earth.27s_ever_decreasing_carrying_capacity"></span><span class="anchor" id="Georgism_explanation"></span>Georgescu-Roegen's theory of Earth's ever decreasing carrying capacity</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Economic_collapse&amp;action=edit&amp;section=17" title="Edit section: Georgescu-Roegen&#039;s theory of Earth&#039;s ever decreasing carrying capacity"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p><a href="/wiki/Romanian_American" class="mw-redirect" title="Romanian American">Romanian American</a> economist <a href="/wiki/Nicholas_Georgescu-Roegen" title="Nicholas Georgescu-Roegen">Nicholas Georgescu-Roegen</a>, a <a href="/wiki/List_of_people_considered_father_or_mother_of_a_scientific_field" title="List of people considered father or mother of a scientific field">progenitor</a> in <a href="/wiki/Economics" title="Economics">economics</a> and the <a href="/wiki/Paradigm_shift#Kuhnian_paradigm_shifts" title="Paradigm shift">paradigm founder</a> of <a href="/wiki/Ecological_economics" title="Ecological economics">ecological economics</a>, has argued that the <a href="/wiki/Carrying_capacity" title="Carrying capacity">carrying capacity</a> of Earth—that is, Earth's capacity to sustain human populations and consumption levels — is bound to decrease sometime in the future as Earth's finite stock of <a href="/wiki/Mineral" title="Mineral">mineral resources</a> is presently <a href="/wiki/Mining" title="Mining">being extracted and put to use</a>; and consequently, that the <a href="/wiki/World_economy" title="World economy">world economy</a> as a whole is heading towards an <a href="/wiki/Nicholas_Georgescu-Roegen#Population_pressure,_mineral_resource_exhaustion_and_the_end_of_mankind" title="Nicholas Georgescu-Roegen">inevitable future collapse, leading to the demise of human civilisation itself</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-ngr01_42-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-ngr01-42"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>42<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> </p><p>Georgescu-Roegen is basing his pessimistic prediction on the two following considerations: </p> <ul><li>According to his ecological view of <a href="/wiki/Pessimism#Entropy_pessimism" title="Pessimism">'entropy pessimism'</a>, matter and energy is neither created nor destroyed in man's economy, only transformed from states available for human purposes (valuable <a href="/wiki/Natural_resource" title="Natural resource">natural resources</a>) to states unavailable for human purposes (valueless <a href="/wiki/Waste" title="Waste">waste</a> and <a href="/wiki/Pollution" title="Pollution">pollution</a>).

This struggle manifests itself as a permanent social conflict that can be eliminated neither by man's decision to do so nor by the social evolution of mankind.
