Abstract
Efforts to transform production and distribution to sustainable systems have started recently. Larsson argues that experts and politicians have not properly understood the magnitude of the challenges or the pressing time frame that governments and companies need to adhere to in order to succeed. Among the alternatives that are discussed, some are realistic and others, at close analysis, seem impossible. It will be the goal of the book to identify possible and realistic alternatives for progress and expose ones that are less realistic or even impossible. This chapter also relates aspects of decision theory and the theory on organization man and argues that experts need to better understand the tendency among humans to sometimes produce flawed arguments and make decisions without taking into account all the relevant information.
