Globally, 1 in 10 people go to bed hungry each night and 3 billion cannot afford, or don’t have access to, a nutritious diet. Should Ehrlich be given more credit for his findings and predictions?

Copies are expensive.

I think Ehrlich does deserve more recognition. I don’t believe he was ever being sensationalist or trying to scaremonger, just highlighting where the world was heading if population is allowed to grow and grow (which it has).

No preaching or grandstanding or Donald Trump style performances, just very clever presentation of facts.

A very clever man in my opinion.
