Abstract

U eseju Energy and Equity Ivan Illich razrađuje tezu da svaki sustav, proces ili ljudska
aktivnost raste ili se odvija do određenog praga nakon kojeg daljnji rast ili daljnje aktivnosti
postaju kontraproduktivne. Illich ilustrira svoju tezu na primjeru transporta. Razvoj tehnike
omogućuje sve veće brzine transportnih sredstava, no ljudi u prosjeku provode više vremena
u transportu nego nekad. Dakle, brzina ne mora nužno značiti uštedu na vremenu. Upravo
je brzina, a s tim povezana i potrošnja energije, ključan čimbenik koji čini transport socijalno
destruktivnim jer izaziva društveno raslojavanje na one koji je mogu i ne mogu priuštiti.
Budući da je stalan rast potrošnje energije nemoguć iz fizičkih, ekoloških i socijalnih razloga,
Ivan Illich vidi budućnost čovječanstva u postindustrijskom društvu tehnološke zrelosti,
oslobođenom obilja i ovisnosti o potrošnji.
