14: MIT Scientists Predict Society To Collapse By 2040

EconVerse Deep Dive: Did MIT Predict Collapse by 2040?

Back in the 1970s, MIT scientists used a computer model to project the future of global economic growth, resource use, and environmental impact. Their findings suggested that unchecked growth could lead to a crisis by 2040—and recent research shows we might still be on that path.

In this episode, we break down:
✅ The "Limits to Growth" study and what it got right
✅ Different scenarios—business as usual, resource expansion, tech innovation
✅ Why resource depletion & pollution were key concerns
✅ Can human ingenuity save us, or are we in trouble?
