Show Notes

50 years ago, the book, “The Limits of Growth,” made some controversial predictions about a potential collapse of civilization due to our culture’s unsustainable approach to growth, and James Keys and Tunde Ogunlana take a look at how the book got to its predictions and consider how things have developed since then (01:22).  The guys also react to the recently uncovered history about a southbound route to freedom for enslaved Americans in the 1800s (31:38).
