Synopsis

For the first time in recorded history, humanity is shrinking. Fertility rates are collapsing worldwide, even in countries long considered immune to the trend. The population peak is closer than anyone expected, and in most industrialized countries, the descent has already begun.

In The End of Population Growth, Ugo Bardi brings the systems-dynamics approach pioneered by The Limits to Growth into the 21st century, with new data, new models, and a frank assessment of what comes next. Aging societies, crumbling pensions, mass migration, abandoned infrastructure — the turbulence ahead is real. So is the opportunity: fewer people means less pressure on a planet already strained to its limits.

But the transition will not manage itself. This book is a guide to navigating terrain no civilization has crossed before. The End of Population Growth combines data, historical perspective, biological insight, and the same modeling philosophy that made The Limits to Growth a scientific milestone. This book can tell us how to face the unfamiliar landscape of a shrinking humanity.

"This book provides useful information and perspectives on the existential issue of our day - managing the globe's peaceful transition from population growth to decline." Dennis Meadows, lead author of "The Limits to Growth," 1972.-
