Tipping Point: The True Story of "The Limits to Growth"

The most important book you never read – its legacy. What is the legacy of "The Limits to Growth"? How did the Meadows navigate the aftermath of their groundbreaking work? We explore Dana Meadows' life after publication, and the resonance of her pioneering ideas. As our world stands at the precipice of escalating environmental crises, this episode uncovers how the warnings of this work resonate - although they focused on "patterns, not predictions", some parts of their baseline scenario can be seen unfolding today. Is the understanding of their lessons growing as we grapple with an escalating ecological emergency? Join us as we not only investigate the researchers' post-publication journeys. This final episode is not just a look back at the aftermath of a groundbreaking study, but a forward-looking exploration - are we listening now? Learn more at tippingpoint-podcast.com .

The most important book you never read – its release and the backlash. How did a research project lead to a book, and who propelled "The Limits to Growth" to the world stage? Grappling with indifference from the very people that she hoped would champion their analysis of empirical patterns in economy and ecology, young scientist Dana Meadows makes a pivotal decision. As we peel back the layers of history, we discover how this small step, coupled with the unexpected involvement of ex-spies among others, would catapult "The Limits to Growth" into an international sensation, sparking a wildfire of public debate, giving rise to modern socio-ecological modelling and reaching millions worldwide. We reveal the PR struggle, the lies and surprises that shape the legacy of this most politicized work of global environmental science. Learn more at tippingpoint-podcast.com .
