Dennis Meadows has been called one of the top one hundred futurists of all time- and he doesn't use a crystal ball. Through complex computer modelling of a lot of data, Dennis predicts future trends in economics and the environment. He is co-author of The Limits To Growth, a 1972 book that warned the world was growing at an unsustainable rate. Dennis also creates experiential games that develop teamwork and personal skills. He's director of the Institute for Policy and Social Science Research at the University of New Hampshire.
