Population

TB — 8/15/2007 6:31:49 PM (archived)

There is absolutely no direct causative link between population growth and productivity.

Human productivity is a result of intellect, initiative, and the political and economic freedom to act on both. There are countless real-world examples to prove this.

If all it took was population, the Third World would be rich, and nations like Australia, Canada, and Sweden would be poverty-stricken.
