Your point is actually part of the article - the finiteness of physical, social, and mental resources constrained and will constrain possible paths and futures.

While the author mostly hints at what could be next, his closing focus on human perspective is credible: finite resources of energy and diminishing returns on investment (whether of time, capital, productivity, etc.) will entail the weakening of the corporate mode of life, and will entail major re-evaluations of infinite-growth assumptions.

Yes, I probably was unjust but hey, that was a rant. I must be agreeing more with the general analysis than would appear from the rant; it's more the reference book I was after, and maybe the chosen perspective.
