Re:50 years on from The Limits to Growth, what did we learn ... by bmismyname on Thursday September 01, 2022 @11:28PM (#32686247)
Did you read the book? Or at least the wikipedia page?

Here's a fairly recent paper with recent data comparing actual historical data to the book's predictions: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/jiec.13084

Quoting from the abstract:

> The two scenarios aligning most closely with observed data indicate a halt in welfare, food, and industrial production over the next decade or so, which puts into question the suitability of continuous economic growth as humanity's goal in the twenty-first century.

I could dig up more sources/data but I'm guessing you aren't going to read them since you certainly haven't read the book.
