#98 The Population Bomb - Paul R Ehrlich and Anne H Ehrlich

Paul R Ehrlich is the Bing Professor Emeritus of Population Studies at Stanford University. In 1968 he published The Population Bomb, co-authored with his wife Anne Ehrlich. In it were predicted, among other catastrophes, famines in the 1970s which would kill hundreds of millions. The cause? Human overpopulation. The optimal solution? A trans-national governing body which would regulate the fertility rates of humans the world over.
In 2009, when asked about The Population Bomb's success in predicting the future, Ehrlich replied that its only problem was in being too optimistic. I should note that the predicted global famines never took place.
