Lumber would be cut down at an alarming rate, where trees were not allowed to grow to take the place of fallen ones. Oil would be refined without thinking of its finite supply. The best way for us presently to use our resources is sparingly and with consideration for future generations. A balance must be found so that normal business operations may be continued now, while the use of resources in the future may be guaranteed. This can be done by slowing down our consumption as it lowers consumer demand and thus production levels. Doing so lowers industry demands on resources like lumber, oil, and fish. Meanwhile government-supported programs must be initiated to monitor and maintain adequate levels in our natural resources. For example they could help with the propagation of fish, planting of trees, and research and development of alternate energy supplies. The economy must be prosperous now as well as in the years to come, and this can be achieved through the use of resources with environmental sustainability in mind. .
Along with environmental sustainability, Crane has talked much about how globalization and connecting the world through the Internet will benefit the economy. In the past, countries would produce what was needed for them such as clothing, food, and transportation and trade any surplus that it acquires. However, as we have clearly seen in examples of absolute advantage and comparative advantage international trade would benefit both countries. A country would have an absolute advantage at producing something if it could produce one product or service at a lower opportunity cost than another country. So if that country were to specialize and produce nothing but that product A, and another country would produce and specialize in its own product B a greater net amount of product A and product B would be accumulated. Through international trade this can be distributed evenly between the two countries so that both countries benefit from the trade through specific terms of trade.
