Technological, Energy, and Organizational Limits to Material Progress
This article examines the social, technological, and energy limits to growth from a historical perspective. Various suggestions to surmount these limits are evaluated and found to be wanting, especially in the face of a rapidly evolving energy crisis as the era of oil comes to an end. It concludes that there are genuine reasons to be concerned about the human prospect

Liberal Dreams and Nature's Limits
Through their ingenuity, North Americans harnessed nature's powers to the limits, creating great cities in our past. Five are analyzed closely. But nature does not allow further grand developments, hence cities can no longer lead and so decay. Great cities are in the past. Yet liberalism and a belief in progressive growth still dominates culture. Only a sea change in our ways will make cities, where nearly everyone resides, livable

Like other documents, works of history tend to answer only those questions asked of them, and the juxtaposition of the questions important to readers of diverse scholarly backgrounds may be in itself illuminating. For this, the first in a continuing series …

"Comment on James A. Henretta's "Families and Farms
Economic gain was important to farm families of pre-industrial America, yet it was not their dominant value. It was subordinate to (or encompassed by) two other goals: yearly subsistence and long-run financial security of family unit.' I take this to be James A. Henretta's central argument in his vision of an early America dominated by lineal family. To sharpen his position he contends that values of lineal family marked distinctive period up to …

The Best Poor Man's Country
In many respects early Pennsylvania was prototype of North American development. Its conservative defense of liberal individualism, its population of mixed national and religious origins, its dispersed farms, county seats, and farm-service villages, and its mixed crop and livestock agriculture served as models for much of rural Middle West. To many western Europeans in eighteenth century, life in early Pennsylvania offered a veritable paradise an…
