4:34 Concept
The numbers 4 and 34 represent a desirable ratio between the economic growth of the northern and southern hemispheres during the coming 50 to 100 years. This ratio would produce a 10-fold total increase in growth without significantly adding to environmental stress and resource use. The unequal distribution of wealth between north and south would also be reduced by a factor of 2. (cp. Radermacher 2002: Balance or Destruction, p. 129).
