The dire prediction by controversial economist Thomas Malthus that the world’s expanding population would swiftly outrun its food supply has not come to fruition—yet. In this program, demographer Paul Demeny, of the Population Council; Walter Reid, of the World Resources Institute; and Max Singer, co-founder of the Hudson Institute, join Ben Wattenberg, of the American Enterprise Institute, in debating issues such as the powerful influence of technology in refuting Malthus’ theory, population projections for the 21st century, and the very real economic and physical aspects of resource depletion.
