This blind belief in innovation as a panacea is, as West points out, often coupled to misapprehension or even denial of the costs of open-ended growth, such as climate change. At best, such issues are swept under the carpet as "externalities", market failures that pose a nuisance for economic accounting. An economics afflicted by such attitudes is not even a dismal science; it's a pseudoscience.
