Abstract: Aldous Huxley said |All great truths begin as heresy.| It is important for every generation to ask heretical questions. Some of the current heretical questions in the West have to do with |growth| – both of the economy and of population. The question of growth gives rise to such other questions as sustainability, immigration and carrying capacity.
Keywords: carrying capacity; economic growth; immigration; population growth; sustainability; sustainable development.
