Is Population Growth a Ponzi Scheme? – Joseph Chamie who has
spent a lifelong career as a demographer including 12 years of
service as the director of the United Nations Population
Division finds that more is not necessarily better. “Ponzi
Demography” that warrants everybody’s attention.

population growth.

the profits and socialize the costs incurred from increased population
growth.
