Matt discusses the impact of Paul Ehrlich’s book “The Population Bomb,” which warned of overpopulation leading to famine and disease in the 1970s and 1980s. Ehrlich predicted hundreds of millions would starve and 65 million Americans would die by 1989. However, technological advancements in agriculture and declining birth rates in developed countries, including the U.S. and Maine, have led to the opposite problem: population decline. Matt criticizes Ehrlich for his lack of foresight and incorrect predictions, which influenced harmful policies like China’s one-child policy and the UN’s anti-development efforts.
