Il termine “collassologia” (in ing. Collapsology) è stato coniato da Pablo Servigne e Raphaël Stevens nel loro libro Come tutto può collassare (2015). Tuttavia, il modello scientifico della distruzione antropogenica della biosfera è datato al 1973, con I limiti dello sviluppo scritto dal Club di Roma.

Economists (with a few notable exceptions) have long behaved as though growth were synonymous with economic health. If the gross national product of a country increases steadily by 4 percent per year, most economists express approval and say that the economy is healthy.
