Abstract

This paper discusses the main thesis that has been developed by the Club of Rome (CoR) that maintains that, unless measures are taken in time, the effects of the exponential growth of the population and its consumption are accumulating pressure on resources and the limited capacity for self-regulation of the ecosystem will have as consequence a profound degradation of the material and cultural standard of humanity. An attempt is then made to indicate the main problem areas that comprise such affirmations and to comment on them. Finally, there is a discussion of the political aspects of this problem, particularly in view of the present international system and the situation of underdeveloped countries.
