Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This fascinating book assesses the impact of population growth on human well-being, from the personal and familial level to the national and international stage. The author explains that as a population expands, its growth rate slows, a principle which applies not only to individuals but… also to groups, both human and animal, and indeed even plants. Drawing parallels with Malthus's work, the author contends that human populations, unlike plant populations, have the potential to increase food production and thus escape the constraints of the natural environment. However, the author demonstrates that this is only possible up to a point, as all resources are finite, and that if a population continues to grow unchecked, poverty and misery will inevitably ensue. Suggesting that the problem of overpopulation has been exacerbated by the Industrial Revolution, which has led to urbanization and reduced mortality rates, the author proposes that it might be addressed through either reducing birth rates or increasing death rates, although the latter is of course undesirable. The book concludes that nations must either agree to limit population growth or enter into defensive alliances to protect themselves from overpopulated neighbors.
