as <<everybody has more stuff and is happy>> you start noticing that the economy no longer needs is no longer capital intensive. You don't need to dig cannals, you don't need to construct roads and bridges, dams, overhead 500KV power lines and its substations, new airports, water supply system and the sewage, habors, telephone system, oil terminals, refineries, pipelines, gas stations, aluminum and copper smelters, mobile networks, cement factories, ships, and super-tankers. Everything is already. You're an honest guy, look around you, and see if you miss anything that requires high capital to be built. You start seeing lots of capital around but not much economix activities. At that point capital has to fly to where all that stuff needs to be built like the Indias and Chinas of this world. Facing fast stagnation, the economies where <<everybody has more stuff and is happy>>, needs to import population to build and increase demand for everything.

The case for importing population into Wyoming. Wyoming has 252.000 square Kilometers and 493,782 people Lets compare with two places with similar area Former West Germany had 250.000 square Kilometers of area and 60 million inhabitants. Sao paulo state in Brazil has 250.000 square Kilometers and there lives 30 million people. Wyoming is trying very hard. Hispanic population grew by 23% between 1990 and 2000. But it needs more. It needs a good 29.5 million people there to get like Sao Paulo state which has a lot of free space. Now imagine the boost to the world economy if we had population rebalancing!!
