Dennis L. Meadows on Economic Growth - Dictionary of Arguments
Brocker I 548 Growth/Economic Growth/Borders/Meadows: Thesis: The growing number of people and their individual needs would exceed the limits of the human habitat in the foreseeable future. Continued growth must inevitably reach fixed limits in the finite space Earth and its transgression cannot lead to anything other than a global catastrophe.
