Synopsis

This book investigates the central role that population and production play in the progress of society. The author challenges the widely accepted concept that there is a fundamental mismatch between the natural tendency for a population to rapidly increase and the ability of food production to keep pace. Their argument presents an alternative view, suggesting that this imbalance only arises from deeply flawed government policies and customs. Within this framework, they consider the shifting relationship between population and production through historical eras from the early development of society through to highly industrialized nations. Throughout, they emphasize the interconnectedness of social and economic progress with a nation’s moral and political qualities, arguing that factors such as education, equality, and security are the essential ingredients for a prosperous and happy society. This book offers a fresh perspective on population dynamics, with insights that encourage critical thinking on a fundamental human concern.
