136: The Peer-Polity Peter Principle

KMO welcomes energy infrastructure analyst Jeff Vail to the program to talk about how growth-oriented hierarchies start to come unglued when they run up against the energy and resource limitations that prohibit continued growth. Listen in to hear how this idea relates to Professor Laurence J. Peter's famous principle.

There's a good discussion of Jeff Vail's ideas in postrodent's journal.
