Superabundance - The Story of Population Growth, Innovation, and Human Flourishing on an Infinitely Bountiful Planet - A Comprehensive Summary

Initially, there is a puzzle. It is 1980, and you are getting hitched. 100 guests are welcomed by your family at the wedding after-party. They spend a total of $10,000 on the gathering, or $100 per person. Quick forward to 2018. You have the opportunity to throw your child's wedding party right now.
The attendance list has grown by 72%. Although some of the old timers are no longer in the area, the cousins have added to the total. That suggests that you are now serving 172 people. If the price per guest stayed the same, your bill would total $17,200. Taking everything into account, the total cost amounts to $4,816, which is not quite half of what your parents paid for you. How is this even imaginable, you inquire of the food supplier? The food source responds that the cost decreased by 1% for every 1% increase in participation. Therefore, even if the number of visitors increased by 72%, your bill decreased by 72%. In reality, I'm sure things like that don't happen.
Or do they, on the other hand...?

While the overall population increased by 71.2 percent during that time, the normal working time needed to earn enough money to buy 50 different types of energy, food, unrefined components, and metals decreased by 71.6 percent. In an unexpected way, the amount of effort required to buy 1 container of the 50 things in 1980 was equivalent to 3.5 crates in 2018. Overflow occurs when the ostensible hourly salary increases faster than the ostensible cost of an asset, as we shall see. Additionally, we refer to a connection as excess when the overflow of assets grows faster than population growth. Although it is obviously illogical, there is a link between population growth and an excess of assets.

So what's going on?

In the animal kingdom, a sudden rise in the availability of resources like grass after an unusually rainy season causes a surge in the animal population. At that moment, the population explosion causes asset exhaustion. Finally, population collapse is brought on by the depletion of resources.
