The Limits to Growth by Donella H. Meadows
4.0
Wow. This should be mandatory reading.
The first two parts of the book in particular clearly and emphatically lay out the perils of exponential growth within a finite system. That is, the growth of humanity’s population and industrial output on our finite earthly home.
I consider myself well educated, and I’ve had the privilege to devote time and effort to learning throughout my life. But this book has made me wrestle with new questions regarding humanity’s limits to growth.
