Empty Planet: The Shock of Global Population Decline
By Darrell Bricker and John Ibbitson
Review by John DePutter – December 22, 2019

This book makes a compelling case that population growth will be significantly less than has been predicted. It suggests that the world’s population may never grow from its current 7 billion to anywhere near the 11 billion which the United Nations forecasts will be reached by 2100.
