Do you have links to any decent analysis of that model?
Because the only things I've been able to digest are the criticisms (the majority of what I've found is that the model does not accurately reflect the world we live in). I'm not trying to confirmation bias myself here, but I would like to see what the proponents have to say.
- wazoox 8y agoHere is a pretty good one IMO (loooong read): https://jancovici.com/en/readings/societies/the-limits-to-growth-donella-meadows-dennis-meadows-jorgen-randers-and-behrens-william-w-iii-1972/ https://jancovici.com/en/readings/societies/the-limits-to-gr... Another article that explains well what the model does, that economists do as if matter and laws of physics didn't exist (unless they're of the rare breed of Georgescu-Roegen's disciples): https://jancovici.com/en/energy-transition/societal-choices/could-the-economy-shrink/ https://jancovici.com/en/energy-transition/societal-choices/...
