Overview

This book describes how the equality principle and its mathematical expression, the Efficient Use of Resources for an Optimal Production Economy (EUROPE) model, can improve the economy, the environment and the technological standard. It shows how this novel model should be applied to, for example, the manufacturing industry, the exploitation of asteroids, mining, reuse and recycling, energy flows, ocean currents, water distribution, megacity supply, and food webs. The EUROPE model is applicable to all producing activities that show an inflow of inputs that are transformed.The book will appeal to academics interested in sustainability, and practitioners who want insights into how to best utilize their input. The EUROPE model can improve the resource economy, from a single machine up to the planetary system.
