Show Notes
Around the year 1800, a man by the name of Thomas Malthus popularized a theory that would from then on be known as Malthusianism.
The idea being that as population increases, the resources necessary to sustain it dwindle until you reach a population crash; ie: starvation, famine and death. People called this the "Malthusian Trap".
But, modern PhD - Marian Tupy - has proposed an updated formula that counters Malthus' bleak predictions. And, actually makes a strong case for an optimistic future that doesn't require a population crash or depopulation at all!
