“Birth-control is a matter of great importance, particularly in relation to the possibility of world-government…”- Bertrand Russell.
“Human fertility is now the greatest long-term threat to human standards, spiritual as well as material.” – Julian Huxley.
“The goal would be half of the present world population, or less.” – The Environmental Handbook, 1970.
“How can we help a foreign country to escape overpopulation? Clearly the worst thing we can do is send food… Atomic bombs would be kinder…” – Garrett Hardin

This edition of Forcing Change contains only one article – an essay I’ve simply titled, “Exploring the Population Agenda.” But simple it’s not.
Using scores of sources, over 80 endnotes accompany this 26-page report, we tackle the recent resurgence of interest in this topic – stemming from the 7 billion milestone passed in March of this year. We also examine the many reasons touted for why a global population reduction strategy is supposedly needed, and we explore the modern history of the movement, looking at specific national examples, the radical suggestions made by supporters, and the expressed desire for a world authority to step to the population plate.
