✦ Synopsis


The mathematical model basic to the results of The Limits to Growth has been found to be very sensitive to small perturbations. Even qualitatively different results, such as lack of evidence on which to base a prediction of the collapse of world population, can be obtained by a combination of small changes. Nevertheless comment is made on the value of the application of system-theoretic techniques to non-technical systems.
