Sorry, we don't have images or video for this item.

Episode of Series “Man builds - man destroys”.
Massachusetts Institute of Technology published a book, “The Limits to Growth”. Questions raised by that book included: Is it time to stop growing - in population, in capital investments, in material things - or is that the road to continued poverty for the poorer nations of the world? This film examines both sides of the question.
