Was the Club or Rome a corporate dominated outfit when they funded and wrote the classic 1972 book The Limits To Growth?

I was a young and naive aspiring technocrat back in those days and wonder about that now. That book had a huge impact on my thinking as well as that of millions of others who formed environmental movements around the world. Has anyone written about that? I'd be curious to know.

The whole concept of limits and of limits to growth is fundamentally anti-capitalist.

So, I'd be curious: were the capitalists giving us the rope to hang them?

I haven't written about that but also would be interested in the subject. Limits to growth are a great idea just not with the plans of the WEF and crowd.
