"Spears and Geruso persuasively argue that a big reduction in world population will not actually solve the problems many of us imagine they will solve... Too many commentators are hoping that a shrinking population will naturally put less pressure on the environment."

Last night I had the pleasure of interviewing @mikegeruso.bsky.social at a Zoom event about his phenomenal book, AFTER THE SPIKE: POPULATION, PROGRESS, AND THE CASE FOR PEOPLE (a.co/d/if8wE7u). This is a thread on my key takeaways from the conversation 🧵

My piece today in Briefing Book: "The Economic Case for Higher Birth Rates Is Bigger than You Think" The fiscal challenges of an aging population matter, but the innovation and progress that could be lost in a shrinking world matter even more.

New substack by ‪@hannahritchie.bsky.social‬ explaining why population decline isn’t a bright spot in our climate future. “Large demographic changes happen over longer timescales than we have to get emissions down.” She reviews findings from our recent NBER working paper. Links in the thread:

I really enjoyed this. Separate from how you feel about population, I repeatedly had assumptions overturned by their really deep stats. Maybe my favorite pop sci read during the last year. This is one of those "most of your intuitions are wrong" books.

So excited that this will be out in the world tomorrow! And grateful to everyone who helped make it happen.

The idea you could cut almost a trillion dollars from Medicaid without affecting benefits is… really something.

Thrilled that this is now 75 miles from my doorstep. Vaccines are a miracle of modern medicine and turning our back on them is madness.

New ep: The Trump-Musk doctrine of "fuck around and find out" has already demolished global aid programs, collapsed essential govt data collection services, and nearly caused a nuclear security crisis via accidental firings. This is no way to run a government. open.spotify.com/episode/1lTP...

Govt efficiency would be a worthy goal, even if interest payments didn't exceed defense spending. But understanding efficiency means understanding tradeoffs. So I talk to health policy profs Michael Geruso and Tim Layton about the art of finding real waste in govt. open.spotify.com/episode/1lTP...
