The Economics of Population Growth

Více o knize

Julian Simon argues that modern population growth positively influences living standards over the long term, contrasting it with both stationary and rapid growth rates. He emphasizes that while individuals may seem like a burden in the short term, the overall impact of population increase is beneficial, particularly when considering its effects in both developed and developing nations. The evaluation of population growth's value hinges on the weight given to short-term challenges versus long-term benefits.
