neolib,

Wow, the Indians are a ponzi scheme and the brilliant Euro's and Japanese are 'out in front' looking at an aging environment.

Cool, but completely wrong argument.

Just 4 decades ago brilliant Chinese central planners engineered a 27% drop in GDP in one year. They also solved a bunch of aging issues by getting rid of some excess population. Time will tell if they get it better this time - but its only been 16 years since Tiananmen. And of course of all of this assumes none of their books are cooked.

At least Japan and Europe have a social safety net, they just don't know how to fund it mid century.

I never hung my hopes on population growth - those are your words, but a negative demographic trend is evidence of a failed society.
