My book is at the Airport! Thanks @HudsonBooks. Great to have The Invention of Infinite Growth highlighted this way.

@BevansAdvocate With apologies for the shameless self-promotion, I think you may find the attached of interest, as it’s in conversation with several of the other books you’ve discussed. https://t.co/r7NXdz2idK

I had a great time talking with @NewBooksNetwork about my new book The Invention of Infinite Growth. Thanks to Diedre Woollard for an engaging conversation about economic growth, sustainability, and how we can live better. https://t.co/9Fd4nyPFrh

My review of Abundance for @LAReviewofBooks. Short version: technocratic tweaks could be helpful, but to assume they can inspire a widespread political movement is mistaken. https://t.co/rJYlF838E7

"To understand what Ezra Klein and Derek Thompson think is wrong with America, you need look no further than California’s failed attempts to build a high-speed rail." @EnergyHistorian reviews Ezra Klein and Derek Thompson’s "Abundance." https://t.co/Cvr7dLlWfZ

@arielronid Can you add a link to make it easier to share?

@natterjee Glad you got there!

[Christopher F. Jones @EnergyHistorian]

@Robert_Suits Congratulations!

[Christopher F. Jones @EnergyHistorian]

@Undercoverhist That is sad. I've found his works to be very helpful in research and writing about the history of economic growth, and is cited numerous times. I'm sorry we never had a chance to meet.

@arielronid The technocracy movement of 1920s/30s is an example, but not much good written on it that I know (and what I wrote for my book has largely been cut).

[Christopher F. Jones @EnergyHistorian]

@STS_News I’m in a position of needing to include a brief segment on this topic as a module in hist of engineering. Would very much welcome hearing the top good sources you’ve found.

[SHPRS at ASU @ASU_SHPRS]

Dr. Christopher Jones (@EnergyHistorian) was interviewed by @Forbes France about how the transportation of energy accelerated the transition from wood to fossil fuels.
