Abstract

This chapter presents the basic empirical regularities of the capitalist economic growth process of the last decades. Then, the chapter summarizes the explanation given for the interrelations between income growth, income inequality, and biophysical degradation by the unified theory. This is done by presenting an evolutionary model of unified theory. The reader will thus learn not only about the structure of the unified theory, but also about how it explains reality, which will facilitate understanding of the next chapters. This chapter intends to make the whole book self-contained.
