Something important changed the world 50 years ago. It was in the late 1960s and throughout the 1970s when the realization of fast approaching limits to growth came down like a hammer, striking a strong blow on business-as-usual world political and socio-economic paradigms. Of course, classical economists like Malthus had already sounded a warning 150 years before. Then, scientific and technological advances postponed the inevitable. Finally, the Club of Rome thinkers and two oil crises dispelled the illusion of limitless growth in a small planet, with the controversy being retaken afresh in the 21st century.
