Polarization: The Content
Introduction
In the book "Polarization - Social - Global - Ecological" different manifestations of polarization are discussed. They appear between:
- abundance and hunger
- wealth and poverty
- sufficient and no longer sufficient resources such as raw materials, energy and the environment.
Resources
According to a first rough division, resources are first energy, second raw materials and third environment.
Rich countries also gain an advantage over poor countries by paying only little for their sourcing of raw materials from poor countries and for the manufacture of products in poor countries.
Distribution of growth successes
Using energy and raw materials, people make products. The more products they make and the more money they earn, the more of it can be distributed to the people involved.
Income, such as wages, salaries, interest and returns, are distributed equally or unequally.
Renewable energy and recycling
The current discussion deals with excessive and even existentially threatening resource consumption. This can be reduced by using regenerative energy, recycling raw materials and protecting the environment. The use of regenerative energy and recycling are dealt with on this page, environmental protection on a separate sheet.

It stands to reason that prevention and reduction of pollution and environmental consumption through the use of new and effective technologies should be paid for by the polluters.
For the rich countries, resources would then be available in decreasing quantities, which would become more expensive due to scarcity.
