Economic growth is fundamentally about consuming greater and greater volumes of goods, most of them derived from the earth's primary resources. We are now competing with the populations of other countries like China who also want to consume goods derived from the same resources. Until recently, developed countries were able to outbid everyone else for those resources by borrowing more. Now we can't do that any more, so we're pretty much stuffed.Economists are required to forecast economic positions, not rant on about ''finiteness of global resources'' with a one-track mind. Those who persist with that blinkered thinking have failed to grasp how technologies of many types have overcome past predictions of the world running out of materials throughout history.  These people know no more than you or I....Possibly less, because we live in the real world, we see what's happening, and we are not protected by our government jobs for life with no accountability. They are, to use a cliche, no better than soothsayers, witch doctors or Mystic Meg.One should remember the Japanese manufacturing strategy of ''thinner, lighter, smaller, cheaper....''. Efficiencies and new-to-the-world technologies have been with mankind in every generation. It won't be any different in the future.

Every commentator you see in the media focuses on money. Spend more, spend less, create money, whatever. Indeed your comaprison with weather shows the fundamental lack of understanding. Weather behaves in an unconscious way, humans don't.
Economics is about people and therefore society. Greece and Spain (and the UK and US) have profound problems becasue they are not like the Dutch or the Germans or other northern european societies.
The assumption is that an economy is a black box defined by a function that has the same probability distribution and almos invariably Gaussian ... That is, if you inject xbn of currency in then you have the same probability of outputs as all societies react in the same way. When they obviously don't.
These econometric models are garbage. As a teenager (50 years ago now) a school friend recommended I read Asimov's Foundation trilogy. The fact Hari Seldon could not compute the Mule (a black swan event if ever there was) stuck with me and as I have studied probability theory and its relationship with economics it has become obvious that art is a far better determinant of humanity than the mis-application of maths. Never forget banking problems emanate from kiddies with firsts in maths and physics who could manipulate the equations but didn't understand what those equations represented in philosophical terms. They certainly didn't consider Mule characters called mortgage brokers. Since Keynes and especially since the collapse of Bretton Woods the study of money has reigned supreme in economics. The few millenia in which humans traded has been discounted. Yet that trading is the basis of everything. Why would it change just because of fiat money? Trade represents wealth people want, fundamentally worthless fiat money does not.
Money only acts as a pyschlogical tool to exploit knowledge (or create more knowledge) to create that wealth.
That motive force differs from society to society due to culture. Culture being the prism throuh which that pyschological tool works.
Skidlesky's problem (including not realising that qe must have reached the real economy otherwise inflation over the period could not have been maintained) and others is their unwillingness or inability to consider people. It also reflects the system in which they operate whereby remembering any old garbage for a period and repeating it earns plaudits. After all, despite being a fool the Guaridan invites him to comment. Religous schools are praised for exam passes whilst being purveyors of fairy stories and myths. Obviosuy their forte is passing on any old rubbish and this is admired..
