Generational Dynamics World View

[Warren Dew]

Wars, even crisis wars, do not generally result in a reduction in the number of people. For example, the US had a higher population in 1865 than in 1860, despite the terrible toll of the Civil War.

I think what's going on is that the slowdown in the industrialized world due to globalization has resulted in the population there being worried about themselves, and less worried about shipping off food to starving people in places that could grow their own food but don't.
