Katy Shields, a reporter and producer of the 'Tipping Point' series, teams up with Vegard Beyer, a communications strategist and co-producer, to delve into the seminal work of Donella Meadows and her MIT team. They explore the warnings from 'The Limits to Growth' about the consequences of endless economic growth on a finite planet. The discussion touches on the historical backlash the study faced, the urgent need for sustainable practices, and innovative concepts like 'donut economics' to challenge entrenched economic paradigms.
