A korlĂĄtlan nĂśvekedĂŠs a modern kĂśzgazdasĂĄgtan fĹĂĄramlatĂĄnak kĂśzponti eszmĂŠje, amelyet a nyugati vilĂĄg legalĂĄbb kĂŠt ĂŠvszĂĄzados tapasztalata is megerĹsĂt. Ennek ellenĂŠre mindig voltak kritikusai (Malthus, Ehrlich, Meadows) a korlĂĄtlan nĂśvekedĂŠs koncepciĂłjĂĄnak. Ezek a kritikus gondolatok felerĹsĂśdtek az ĂśkolĂłgiai kĂśzgazdasĂĄgtan (Daly, Rees, Costanza) kialakulĂĄsĂĄval ĂŠs az eltartĂłkĂŠpessĂŠg fogalmĂĄnak kĂśzgazdasĂĄgi alkalmazĂĄsĂĄval. Az eltartĂłkĂŠpessĂŠg az ĂśkolĂłgia tudomĂĄnyĂĄbĂłl szĂĄrmazĂł fogalom, amely megmutatja egy adott populĂĄciĂł maximĂĄlis egyedszĂĄmĂĄt. ĂllĂĄspontom szerint az eltartĂłkĂŠpessĂŠg fogalma az emberi kĂśzĂśssĂŠgekre is alkalmazhatĂł, ugyanakkor ezt az alkalmazĂĄst szĂĄmos humĂĄn tĂŠnyezĹ (fogyasztĂĄs, termelĂŠs, kĂśrnyezetszennyezĂŠs) bonyolĂtja. TanulmĂĄnyomban ezt a tĂŠmakĂśrt vizsgĂĄlom, mikĂśzben a gazdasĂĄgi nĂśvekedĂŠst kritizĂĄlĂł szerzĹk nĂŠzeteit ĂĄttekintem. I am studying the relationship of economic growth and carrying capacity in my paper. The growth is the central idea of the mainstream of modern economics which is reinforced by at least two centuries of experience of the Western world. However, there have always been critics (Malthus, Elrich, Meadows) of the concept of unlimited growth. These critical thoughts have intensified with the birth of ecological economics (Daly, Rees, Costanza) and the economic use of the concept of carrying capacity in parallel. The concept of carrying capacity comes from the science of ecology and it shows the maximum number of individuals in a given population. In my opinion, the concept of carrying capacity can be applied to the human communities, but this application is complicated by several human factors (consumption, production, pollution). I am studying this topic in my paper reviewing the ideas of the authors who are criticising the economic growth. %A TĂłth I.
