Why are people trusting the "sciences" of the mid 19th century?
>They believe phrenology and eugenics
I see your problem.

You know who likes to believe there are too many people in the world? Rich people.

Modern rightism is 50% malthusian elites who want to liquidate the poor and 50% poors who can correctly identify that they are being liquidated but are sicced on their fellow poors by media owned by the elites.

While the media was busy highlighting this pessimistic take from 1968, Norman Borlaug was changing the world as the father of the Green Revolution. He was basically ignored in the United States but was the recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize from Norway in 1970 for his efforts to alleviate starvation in the developing world.

>>25150860
Rehashed Malthus. Picrel is probably much better if you're into that type of thing.

Johnathan V. Last "What To Expect When No One's Expecting" is probably more apt these days, though.

White birth rates have been declining since the 19th century the primary drivers being urbanization and the rise of feminism
>>
>>25150860
He was sensational, and fear mongering. It garnered him popularity and fame, but he pigeon-holed himself and kept moving the goal posts when his predictions were proven fallacious in his lifetime. The only reason I think a book like this would exist is to provide pretext for, and a manufacturing of consent of, depopulation policies and anti-natalist agendas.
>>
It's still true that you can't have infinite population griwth.
>>
>>25152581
And it's also true that there was never going to be infinite population growth. The decline in first world birth rates was obvious from the late 19th century onward and it should have been obvious that it was going to spread to other parts of the world as they developed.
>>
>>25152549
Imo it would have been fine if he had specifically confined his warnings to the third world, where rapidly population growth was (and is) a serious problem, but in a modern universalist context that would make him seem irredeemably racist and would have relegated him to the fringe. Because he made his message universal he was able to get mainstream acceptance, but applied to the first world where birthrates were already in steep decline this basically meant the unilateral self-destruction of developed countries while the third world continues to grow unimpeded.

Pol Pot vindicated once again
>>
>>25152529
I don't think it was helped by entire generations of society from the 1960s onward being taught that they are literally contributing to the collapse of civilisation by having kids and stigmatising large families as a sign of being poor and uneducated.

Marx pointed that some places where low density of population and poor. Others high density of population, and rich.
What cause people to have material abundance, or not, is not the density of population, but the development of productive forces.

Wrong again. The US kept working longer hours but their middle class imploded.

america is one of the richest country on the world, with highest salaries.
Maltusianism is not about middle class being middle, but the false theory that overpopulation leads to poverty.
If this was true, japan would be poor. And the sahara desert rich.
