Fifty years ago The Limits to Growth changed the world.
What did we learn? What did we do? What happens now?
Limits and Beyond: 50 years on from The Limits to Growth, what did we learn and what’s next? is available from Amazon stores all over the world in paperback and ebook.
With two of the original authors, Dennis Meadows and Jorgen Randers, joined by 19 world-renowned economists, thinkers, and analysts from across the globe, cultures, and genders, Limits and Beyond asks why nothing has happened in the last 50 years and what are the different ways of seeing and being that will set us back on the right track?
