Psychology of previous investment

The "psychology of previous investment" was coined by James Howard Kunstler[1] to describe the sunk costs of the modern urban/suburban lifestyle. It is the reluctance to abandon technologies and standards of urban infrastructure into which humans have already made substantial investments, and is seen as a major contributor to modern energy crises.
