A Clear criique of the World3 and World2 models

This book is the best critique of the World3 and World2 models that appear in the books Limits to Growth and Beyond the Limits. The review in the book stems from a detailed understanding of the model and what Meadows etc actually said. They find flaws in several key aspects of the model. If you wish to evaluate the world3 model, after Dynamics of Growth in a Finite world, this should be your next read. The authors do make some errors, but they allowed Meadows etc to write a rebutal that is included in the book, so you can decide for yourself who to believe.
