Abstract
In this chapter the idea is put forward that resource shortages are likely to cause severe problems and hamper economic growth. When shortfalls of resources start to appear, it will take several years to initiate large-scale transformation efforts, a delay that is likely to cause severe disruptions to the global economy. Investments are focused on making the linear economy even more efficient and competitive and comparatively small investments are made in the development of the circular economy. The transformation will have to be approached through a number of successive steps that will develop increasingly complex and competitive businesses, supply chains, and entire industrial sectors. Different sectors are going to go through different sets of steps. In order to drive this development forward, there will be a need for large-scale investments in the new systems.
