Fertility and Scarcity in America

Meer over het boek

The book challenges the prevailing view that population growth is detrimental to economic conditions, arguing instead that higher fertility rates contribute to increased economic inequalities. Peter H. Lindert delves into the relationship between population dynamics and economic development, offering insights into how changes in the economy can influence fertility rates. His analysis seeks to reshape the discourse on population growth by prioritizing the impact of economic inequalities over environmental and resource concerns.
