I am in favour of population growth Which is why I asked you to explain your views vs. the Tangled bank. My bad if you actually think zero population growth is needed at some point. I thought you were in favor of continued growth. Please do enlighten me. And BTW, if you do think zero growth is needed eventually, then why not now? Explain why waiting for zero, and increasing the total population, so that a larger group of people must content with zero growth is somehow better than the current population contending with zero growth (which you seem to think is terrible). I also happen to think we will see peak people. But it will be no thanks to individuals like you (and I would say Libertarian economists in general) who spout claims that continued growth is good. What I've shown is that continued growth is the old biological desire for suffering. So please do show, using some numbers, what exactly you mean when you say "I am in favor of population growth". Leave out what more sane people project, and show what nutty Maurice "likes"
