Synopses & Reviews
Since 1970, Julian Simon has been challenging the doomsayers and their conventional beliefs in a series of controversial popular essays based upon his technical scholarly research. His central messages include: raw materials and energy are getting less scarce; the world's food supply is improving; pollution in the United States has been decreasing; population growth has long-term benefits, even though added people are a burden in the short run; and the United States needs more immigrants. These essays are the core of Population Matters.
