Misconceptions of Population Growth and Resource Scarcity

In the post-Second World War era, concerns arose about global population growth outpacing available resources, leading to fears of scarcity and mass starvation. Influential figures like Paul Ehrlich's book 'The Population Bomb' in 1968 fueled these apocalyptic predictions, sparking psychological impact despite a lack of realization of the catastrophic scenarios. The Julian Simon-Paul Ehrlich bet in 1980 on resource prices revealed that despite significant population growth, resource prices decreased by 36%, challenging the Malthusian notion of resource depletion.

Marian Tupy and Gale Pooley are co-authors of the new book, “Super Abundance”. They sit down with Dr Jordan B Peterson to discuss their studies into overpopulation, the myths surrounding the subject, and how academia has created a new philosophy that demonizes modern man simply for existing.

Marian Tupy is the co-author of “Super Abundance”, as well as “10 Global Trends Every Smart Person Should Know” and “The Simon Abundance Index”. He is the current editor of humanprogress.org, and is a senior fellow at the center for global liberty and prosperity.

Gale Pooley is the co-author of “Super Abundance,” and is also an Associate Professor of business management at Brigham Young University in Hawaii. He has taught economics all over the world, and earned his PHD from the University of Idaho. He is also well known for his role in the development of the Simon Abundance Index.
