Description

Is it time for us to stop growing - in population, in capital investments, in material things - or is this the road to continued poverty for the poorer nations of the world. Computer studies at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, commissioned by a group of European industrialists resulted in the publication of a book "The Limits to Growth” that has stirred up worldwide controversy. This programme examines both sides of the question: continued economic growth or a leveling off to a "steady-state" economy.
