In 1972, "Limits to Growth" emerged as a groundbreaking study that dared to question the sustainability of global expansion. Authored by Donella H. Meadows and her team from MIT, this seminal work utilized the innovative World3 computer model to project the future impacts of humanity's unbridled growth on our planet's finite resources. With a compelling blend of scientific rigor and accessible prose, Meadows et al. painted a prescient picture of a world teetering on the brink of ecological collapse—challenging the very foundations of economic and industrial paradigms. Decades later, this visionary text, enriched by thirty years of accumulated data, resonates with even greater urgency. "Limits to Growth" not only foresaw the critical pressures on climate, water quality, fisheries, forests, and more, but also offered a clarion call to humanity. It implores us to rethink our approach to development, advocating for a balance that ensures the well-being of future generations. As relevant now as it was at its inception, this book is an essential touchstone for environmentalists, policymakers, and anyone concerned with the precarious balance between human progress and environmental stewardship.
