His expansive research boils down to four questions, rather than a formal thesis: how many people can our planet hold (15); is there a humane way to convince all people to control population growth (23-24); how much ecosystem is required to maintain human life (32); and how to we redesign an economy to fit our shrinking - and then stable - population…
