The social engineering project to "change everything" is today perhaps the most successful behavioural sciences experiment in modern history.
"The circular economy – the newest magical word in the sustainable development vocabulary – promises economic growth without destruction or waste. However, the concept only focuses on a small part of total resource use and does not take into account the laws of thermodynamics."
