There's a sizeable minority that believes we're at peak everything. I'm 75% certain aid to Africa will be at less than 10% of its current levels within two decades, either because we've basically dealt with the problem of resource scarcity, or because the developed world needs every scrap of fuel, food, and materiel it can hang on to.
