Polarization: The content
Introduction
The book "Polarization – societal – global – ecological" focuses on different manifestations of polarization. They arise between:
- abundance and hunger
- wealth and poverty
- sufficient and no longer sufficient resources like raw materials, energy, and environment.
Resources
According to an initial rough division, resources are firstly energy, secondly raw materials and thirdly the environment.
Rich countries also benefit from poor countries by paying only a small amount for their raw materials from poor countries and for the manufacturing of products in poor countries. .
Distribution of growth gains
People use energy and raw materials to manufacture products. The more products they produce and the more money they make selling them, the more of both can be distributed to the people involved.
Income, such as wages, salaries, interest and returns, is distributed equally or unequally.
Renewable energy and recycling
The current discussion is dealing with the excessive and even existentially threatening consumption of resources. It can be reduced by using renewable energy, recycling raw materials and protecting the environment. The use of renewable energy and recycling are discussed on this page, while environmental protection is the subject of a separate sheet.

Avoiding and reducing environmental pollution and consumption by using new and effective technologies should obviously be paid for by those causing it.
The amount of resources available to rich countries would then decline, and their scarcity would cause their prices to rise.
