Malthus suggested there might be an inverse relationship between the
quantity and the quality of human life. Approximately one billion
people now go to bed hungry
every night. Rohe revisits principles found controversial in 1798 in
identifying a root cause of our unrest.

<a href="http://www.rand.org/">Rand Corporation</a>, 1999, ISBN

highly polarized. About 90% of Congress consistently votes either for
or against population-related
legislation. Thus the remaining 10 percent is likely to determine the
fate of
such issues. Researchers interviewed a sample of legislative directors
in this category. Most felt that the U.S. should continue to play a
leading role internationally, but
several noted that their bosses favor more multilateral approaches. A
majority felt that world population growth is a problem but is not
urgent. Nearly unanimous support was expressed for U.S. support of
voluntary family planning if it excludes abortion. Congress would
benefit from more factual information on population issues.

calculates Earth's carrying capacity at less than 2 billion (p. 37). An

focused on renewable resources but added overpopulation to the
equation. Osborn saw the nation's forests, grasslands, and water
resources as threatened. "The tide of the earth's population is rising,
the reservoir of the earth's living resources is falling," the author
wrote. "There is only one solution: Man must recognize the necessity of
cooperating with nature." Fairfield Osborn was a distinguished author,
naturalist, and conservationist. He was president of the New York

"Daleiden's basic message, then, is that today's acts are destroying
tomorrow, and that we are stealing, not just borrowing, from the future
and that we must accept the possibility of disasters if we are to
prevent them. ...An additional value of the book is the validity of its
arguments: e.g., the deft debunking of the 'demographic transition'
theory (with the addition that even if it were true, it would be too
late, because of doubling time, to matter when it kicked in)."
