Is there an optimum level of population?

S. Fred Singer

Chapter 8 in The Economic Growth Controversy, 1973, pp 154-164 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract It may seem intuitively obvious that a country should have an optimum population level: i.e., the citizens of the country would be better off at this level of population than if the population, were less or if it were greater. But intuition can be misleading; therefore, a more careful analysis is needed.
