The De-Population Bomb: The Visible Impacts on Civilization and Society (Video)

Uploaded on 14 September 2022, this Hoover Institution video interview by Peter Robinson, Uncommon Knowledge, was recorded on 14 June 2022 at the American Enterprise Institute in Washington, D.C. 

In 1970, Stanford professor Paul Ehrlich published a famous book, ‘The Population Bomb’, in which he described a disasterous future for humanity.

“The battle to feed all of humanity is over. In the 1970s and 1980s hundreds of millions of people will starve to death in spite of any crash programs embarked upon now.” 

That prediction turned out to be very wrong, and in this interview American Enterprise Institute scholar Nicholas Eberstadt tells how we are in fact heading toward the opposite problem: not enough people.

For decades now, many countries including Western Europe, South Korea, Japan and, most ominously, China, have been unable to sustain a population replacement birth rate. The societal and social impacts of this phenomenon are vast. We discuss this situation with Nicholas Eberstadt along with some strategies which can help to alter the path the world is following.
