Demographic Collapse #2: Ponzi Schemes

Nathan Lewis
September 12, 2021
Growth
I have been arguing that a decline in population (“demographic collapse”) need not be a bad thing. If per-worker productivity remains high, or better yet rises considerably, then individuals and the society in general will remain wealthy and prosperous. Read More ›

Gale Pooley

Growth
Are resources becoming more or less abundant? To answer this question we analyzed the change in the time prices of 50 basic commodities from 1980 to 2020.
