Population and Development in Poor Countries

Más información sobre el libro

Challenging the conventional view that population growth hampers economic progress, Julian Simon presents a compelling argument that it ultimately enhances living standards. This collection of articles spans two decades, analyzing the impact of population increases on economic development in less-developed countries. Simon illustrates how a growing population drives demand, leading to resource shortages that stimulate innovation and new discoveries. Over time, these developments result in more affordable resources, benefiting society as a whole.
