Professor ARNOLD PLANT. (Sir Ernest Cassel Professor of Commerce, London School of Economics) : ' How Wealth has Increased-II,
Natural Wealth '
THIS week Professor Plant talks about
' Natural Wealth ' — i.e., the natural resources upon which wealth of all kinds ultimately depends. In this respect the twentieth century is faced with a new problem : the opening up of now continents and countries, and the consequent increase of wealth, has practically stopped. To balance this, however, the rate of increase of population is falling; so that each person's share of the existent wealth is decreasing less rapidly than might be supposed. Next week Professor Plant will go on to discuss the improvements we are making in methods of exploiting these natural resources.
