I don't have a copy in front of me but throughout the book there are many comments made against modern society and some of the examples that she gives are clearly 'set up' to be against growth. I didn't realize she also wrote Limits to Growth and according to wikipedia, used some of that work and was edited by an org called the Sustainability Institute which explains it.

- whilenot-dev 2y agoYou seem to conflate the term sustainability with "degrowth" which is just not the case in the book Thinking in Systems. I'm really curious where you picked that up from? In fact, a non-sustainable system is a system that is very far from any growth because it is about to collapse - only a sustainable system is able to grow, natural and artifical alike.
