Reviews

Julian Simon has been the dominant world figure in population economics... The essays in this large and very welcome volume elaborate a consistent set of arguments about the positive long-term relationships between population and development that have been critical in shifting the balance of the discourse from the excessive neo-Malthusianism of the 1970s and earlier to the much more analytical perspectives that are now taken for granted. --Third World Planning Review
