After the spike : population, progress and the case for people

Spears, Dean E., author, Geruso, Mike, author

2025

Overview

If we continue as we are, with birth rates falling globally, the world's human population will soon peak and then begin a sudden and rapid decline. Within our grandchildren's lifetimes, older people will vastly outnumber younger ones. A generation beyond that, we will return to population levels equivalent to the Stone Age. It would be easy to think that fewer people would be better - better for the planet, better for the people who remain. In 'After the Spike', two of the world's leading population economists ask you to think again. From a careful weighing of the evidence and the many claims and counter-claims that surround this controversial subject, they explain why depopulation is not the solution we urgently need for climate crisis, nor will it raise living standards.
