Cassandra - A Predictable World Has No Room for Choice

On this episode, we meet with Professor Emeritus of Systems Management and author, Dennis Meadows.

Meadows revisits Limits to Growth 50 years after it was published. Looking back, how does Meadows view the book? How much of the response to his description of overshoot was based in fear?

Meadows offers advice to current leaders based on the models he developed in Limits to Growth. Why is it important to develop success indicators, and how can they be clearly communicated to the public?

Further, Meadows explores the available leverage points to avoid the worst types of collapse at our current stage of crises.
