That was never the problem. Since the dawn of humans, we have faced one inexorable challenge — how to support the rise and — in the last half century or so — explosion of the population. But, in a momentous reversal, that age-old challenge is changing: the population of most countries is shrinking — for many of them at an alarming pace — and at the same time aging.


The problem was always to get lots of tribal members to win genocidal conflicts with neighbouring tribes to take their territory and women.

That process has been going since people were chimps, which do the same thing but with less effective weapons and tiny tribes.

Now the age-old Malthusian marauding murder has been largely superseded.

With contraception and the end of genocidal malthusian conflict, individual success within tribes is the name of the game. Some regions with very low GDP person are still in the Malthusian maelstrom.
