Population Growth and Technological Change

Chapter Chapter 13 in What Environmentalists Need to Know About Economics, 2010, pp 153-160 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Population growth and its impact on the environment has been a hot topic for decades, ever since Paul Ehrlich’s The Population Bomb was published in 1968. Extending many of the arguments first put forth by Thomas Malthus in the eighteenth century,1 Ehrlich predicted an exponential increase in global population coupled with massive starvation, given that growth in the food supply wouldn’t be able to keep pace.
