A.
Kaldor–Verdoorn law
The Kaldor–Verdoorn law is an economic principle that posits a positive relationship between the growth of output and the growth of labor productivity, often used to explain cumulative and self-reinforcing processes in industrial growth.
-
B.
limits to growth
Limits to Growth is a seminal 1972 report and concept in systems thinking that models how exponential economic and population growth can exceed the planet’s finite resources, leading to potential ecological and societal collapse.
-
C.
The Entropy Law and the Economic Process
The Entropy Law and the Economic Process is a foundational work in ecological economics that applies the concept of entropy from thermodynamics to critique conventional economic theory and highlight the physical limits to economic growth.

D.
Hicks–Kaldor compensation criterion
The Hicks–Kaldor compensation criterion is an economic efficiency test stating that a policy change is desirable if those who gain could in principle compensate those who lose and still be better off, regardless of whether compensation actually occurs.
