The Population Crisis — too many, too few, or a nonsensical framing? Part 1: Overpopulation — The Fallacy of the Malthusian Trap https://juliusruechel.substack.com/p/the-population-crisis-too-many-too Both Left and Right say we're in a population crisis. They just disagree whether there are too many or too few people. The Left says the planet is running out of resources. The Right says declining birth rates are a threat to Western civilization because they lead to a shrinking economy, make existing debts unsustainable, slow the rate of innovation, and risk the collapse of our social security net. Both contain partial kernels of truths. Yet both half-truths disguise pernicious lies upon which the rotting foundations of modern Western nations are built, albeit in different ways.
