If the peoples of the developing world were brought up to the standard of living now enjoyed in the United States all of the earth's resources would be exhausted by the year 2000. The extraction of resources required to achieve this desirable result “would virtually deplete the earth of all high-grade mineral resources and would necessitate our living off the leanest of the earth's substances; the waters of the sea and ordinary rock.” Id. at 44.
