Abstract: 

Today we use far fewer materials than we once did to get the same things done--a phenomenon known as dematerialization. But, paradoxically, this efficiency seems to drive up overall consumption. In Making the Modern World: Materials and Dematerialization, a deeply researched statistical profile of global material use, author Vaclav Smil lays out just how much stuff we need to live modern lives.
