Contents:

The nature of exponential growth -- The limits to exponential growth -- Growth in the world system -- Technology and the limits of growth -- The state of global equilibrium.

Summary: The problems U Thant mentions- the arms race, environmental deterioration, the population ex-plosion, and economic stagnation--are often cited as the central, long-term problems of modern man. Many people believe that the future course of human society, perhaps even the survival of human society, depends on the speed and effectiveness with which the world responds to these issues. And yet only a small fraction of the world's population is actively concerned with understanding these problems or seeking their solutions.
