Kuhn points out that in the sciences it usually has to wait until most of the older generation of scientists, who have been trained in the old paradigm, have been removed from the debate by old age and death. The same thing is too often true in other fields. Thus it’s uncomfortably likely that even as the industrial paradigm fails to explain an increasingly challenging world, a great many people will cling to the faith that progress will bail us out, and ignore the fact that all the complex economic activities of the industrial world depend ultimately on Nature itself.
