Current reserves of non-renewable resources can be counted in years and decades, not centuries. Meanwhile, the world's population continues to grow, expected to pass nine billion by the middle of the century. This could spell disaster.
This book looks at the latest mineral reserve data, population growth forecasts, and model simulations regarding the depletion of resources and prospects of an economic collapse past the middle of this century.
A close look at the economics of growth and poverty reveals that aggressive depopulation is our best, if not only, chance of averting the impending crisis.
Depopulation would, as a bonus, provide an answer to the aging baby boomer generation problem and could improve standards of living in developing countries. But, is it already too late?
