Reviews

-A splendid critique of how U.S. foreign aid and liberal immigration [policy] result in population growth here and abroad.- -Donald L. Huddle, Rice University -Addresses one of the most vexing issues of our time--why after five or more decades of helping poor countries improve their standard of living, is poverty still the rule?...This book provides a fresh look at a classic and neoclassic view of over population.- -Kingsley Davis, The Hoover Institute
