Why read it?
1 author picked Fewer as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
There are two reasons for recommending this book by the late Ben Wattenberg.

Second, Wattenberg convinced me that it was possible to write simply and straightforwardly about the subject of demography, without the need for inaccessible terminology and making the ideas exciting and relevant.
From Paul's list on the impact of population on everything.
