Rooted & UnwitheredFacing an Empty Planet and the Shock of Global Population DeclineIn 1968, Paul Ehrlich published his bestselling book, The Population Bomb, which predicted the apocalyptic death of millions in the 70s and 80s as the result of over-population. Surely you have heard the nutshell of his argument before: the earth and its resources simply cannot sustain humanity’s ever-growing population. Sixty years later, the fact that nearly all of his predictions have failed to come true did not stop the now ninety-year-old from doubling-down on the disaster of over-population on 60 Minutes just last month. And many people are still in agreement with his assessment.

Darrell Bricker and John Ibbitson argue that by the middle of this century the world population will start to decline as the final major developing nations have their birth-rates fall below the replacement rate of 2.1 per woman. Although various governments have tried to arrest the trend, those efforts have proven largely ineffective and unsustainably expensive. The only method of...

TalkradioBabyboom als TaschenspielertrickDienstag, 12. Februar 2019, 15:10 Uhr„Der Babyboom war nur eine Anomalie“, sagen Bricker und Ibbitson in „Empty Planet“. Die Lebensfreude nach dem Krieg und die gestiegene Lebenserwartung täuschten uns darüber hinweg, dass wir schon seit einem Jahrhundert in einer eurasischen Rentnerrepublik leben. Und wir merken: Wir haben keinen Plan, wie mit schrumpfenden Bevölkerungsgrößen und Volkswirtschaften umzugehen ist. Doch das sei die neue Frage nach Krieg und Frieden. Auf der Suche nach den Gemütszuständen hören wir noch ein bisschen Eva Illouz zu und verfolgen japanische Rentner ins Gefängnis, wo sie endlich jemanden zum Reden finden.
