Modern classic,
By jim thornton (uk) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Conditions of Agricultural Growth: The Economics of Agrarian Change Under Population Pressure (Paperback)
Ever since Malthus most people have believed that increasing population slows or even reverses economic development. However in 1965 a young Danish economist wrote this small book questioning this orthodoxy. She showed that over most of history the effect of increasing population has been positive. Most serious demographers and economists now accept that she was right. It is tragic that the general public and population doomsayers have still not got the message, and persist in pushing family planning down the throats of the poor in the vain hope that it will help economic development. This book is a modern classic.
