Grow or Die!

America's population is growing dangerously. Zero population growth (ZPG) is the only solution to pollution, economic scarcity, and social problems. Abortion, birth control, and childless marriages are pluses in the battle against population growth.

Sound familiar? It should, because this is the propaganda being force-fed to the public by a clique of dreamers, quacks, and power seekers--and their allies in the media. Not only is this nonsense, but the facts are just the opposite, says engineer and communications expert James A. Weber.

"Spaceship Earth" is not running out of resources. Her crew is not too big. Mankind is not doomed to die in a closed-loop, one-planet universe--provided we don't allow ourselves to be scared into stagnation by the ZPGers.

The result of six years of research, this hard-hitting, documented answer to the doomsayers reopens the great debate on which our future will turn.
