Our supplies of natural resources are not finite in any economic sense. Nor does past experience give reason to expect natural resources to become more scarce. Rather, if history is any guide, natural resources will progressively become less costly, hence less scarce, and will constitute a smaller proportion of our expenses in future years.

It is a science of the means to be applied for attainment of ends chosen, not, to be sure, a science of the choosing of ends.
