The Limits to Growth is a book based on A Report to The Club of Rome (1972), which predicted population decreases "when the death rate is driven upward by lack of food and health services" based on the following premises:

  • The behavior mode of the system is that of overshoot and collapse.
  • In this run the collapse occurs because of nonrenewable resource depletion.
