This essay explores the intertwined futures of economic growth and growth theory. Solow argues that while the limits to growth on a finite planet are undeniable, the nature and timing of these limits remain uncertain. He suggests that focusing solely on physical limits overlooks the potential for technological innovation and substitution. Regarding growth theory, he advocates for a shift away from abstract models towards a more empirically grounded approach that incorporates institutional and social factors, acknowledging the complex interplay between economic growth, environmental constraints, and societal choices
