January 15, 2015 – Herman Daly provides his perspective on how populations of both humans and their things are considered in the steady state economy:

“A steady state economy is defined by a constant population and a constant stock of physical capital. In a way it is an extension of the demographer’s model of a stationary population to include non living populations of artifacts, with production rates equal to depreciation rates, as well as birth rates equal to death rates.”
