Malthusianism is nonsense.

Most human production has gains of scale.

Maybe fiat inflation has led to lower long-term investment to secure future consumption.

But that has nothing to do with a Malthusian trap.

A sudden, explosive population growth can result in temporary exhaustion of resources and famines.

What we’re seeing is the opposite.

A sudden collapse in productivity.

Reducing the population would only make things worse.

All you need is to stop preventing people from being productive.
