REPLY Limits to Growth returns (SD6756)

Having done a game-theoretic analysis of North-South issues on
environment and development in my Ph. D. work, I find it fascinating
that LTG issues keep on cropping up, and the LTG folks seem to have
been right. Accurate projections would have been impossible (a
well-discussed topic) but the general features they projected seem to
be generally true (rising prices of resources such as oil,
agricultural products and so on).

While I am not involved with environment and development issues
(professionally at least), I also find that topics I studied 10 years
ago, resource conflict between North and South (China and India versus
US/Europe demand for oil, conflicts, the importance of information in
power and control), all these are becoming more and more relevant now.

Anyway there is a whole Ph.D. dissertation on this topic - if anyone
needs more info, it can be found by searching the archives of SD
mailing list, or please just email me.

Best regards
