Abstract

Various societies that have achieved a sustainable mode of living are examined in the light of the global history of human development, which is reviewed first. These are societies that never made the transition from agriculture to mercantile capitalism, and one group that never adopted agriculture at all.
The objective of the chapter is to identify how social sustainability played a part in these achievements. Some of the factors that drove the development of non-sustainability are also identified. The impact of western ideas and civilisation on these societies is also identified and discussed. Societies that achieved social sustainability also achieved stable populations.
