I am not an economist but I urge the pursuit of economics principles rooted in sustainable nature, looking at "circular economy", the Schumacher Center for New Economics <https://centerforneweconomics.org/about/>, "eco-economics" such as the work by Robert Costanza recently of the Gund Institute for Ecological Economics at the University of Vermont, etc.

Lest this seem pie-in-the-sky, consider the progress of a carbon fee and dividend approach to manipulating attributes of human economic behaviors such as competitiveness, profit-seeking, etc. See the rapidly advancing politically-accessible approach by <https://citizensclimatelobby.org>.

Some multifaceted resources includes introduction to such things at <https://www.pri.org/stories/2012-11-06/cost-getting-energy-market-rising-resources-become-more-scarce>
