1. The Limits To Growth
This book presents a groundbreaking study that uses computer modeling to predict the future outcome of the world's economic and environmental system. It argues that if current trends in population growth, industrialization, pollution, food production, and resource depletion continue unchanged, they will lead to economic and societal collapse within the 21st century. The authors emphasize the need for sustainable development practices, suggesting that significant changes in policies and behaviors are essential to avoid the dire consequences projected by their models. The work has sparked widespread debate and has been influential in environmental and economic circles, highlighting the interconnectedness of global systems and the urgent need for coordinated action to ensure a viable future.
