I mean you can revisit the chapter. Its mostly them fiddling about with assumptions to prevent pollution from going completely exponential, * then * it becomes resource limited.
I’m not even sure how well the assumptions of their modeling approach would hold up these days. Its an interesting example of expert systems analysis but its pretty dated.
I thought it was resource depletion?

Ah, I’m thinking of the 30-year update they did on the model:
