The concept of using starvation and inequality as a brake on population is
not only inhumane but also illogical, since reproduction rates are highest
in destitute countries (children as a "substitute" for social insurance).

Hopfenberg has attempted to provide a (pseudo-)scientific basis for
Daniel Quinn's genocidal nonsense of a gorilla telling humanity how
to abandon civilization ("Ishmael" etc.). A very dangerous crowd, this.

Weiler worked for the chemical industry and the Club of Rome is presided
by a royal oil sheik. Clearly the right kind of people to tell us how to
save the planet! *shudder*
