Limits to Privatization
by Ernst Ulrich von Weizsäcker
The Report to the Club of Rome "Limits to Privatization" is the first thorough audit of privatizations from around the world. It outlines the
historical emergence of globalization and liberalization, and from analyses of over 50 case studies of best-
and worst-case experiences of privatization, it provides guidance for policy and action that will restore and
maintain the right balance between the powers and responsibilities of the state, the private sector and the
increasingly important role of civil society.

Limits to Growth - The 30 Year Update
by Donella Meadows, Jorgen Randers, Dennis Meadows
In 1972 "The Limits to Growth" shocked the world. The authors looked into the future and sounded an alarm, for the first time showing
the consequences of unchecked growth on a finite planet. Their book gained worldwide attention and became the cornerstone of a global
debate on how to achieve a sustainable future.
The 30-Year Update brings data on overshoot and global ecological collapse to the present moment.
It provides a short course in the World3 computer model, types of growth, and the various kinds of overshoot likely to
occur in the current century. While it remains to be seen whether public policy will respond effectively and in time to
problems such as climate change, this book makes a compelling case for the vital need for a Sustainability Revolution.
