If our population keeps growing, won’t we eventually run out of resources? According to Marian Tupy, the answer is no. Tupy is a Senior Fellow at the Cato Institute who recently co-authored “Superabundance,” a book exploring this very question. More people means more mouths to feed, but it also means more minds working together to develop the technology of the future. As long as individuals are free to explore and innovate, we can continue to increase the efficiency with which we use natural resources. Tupy believes that population growth and freedom are the secret ingredients for a superabundant future. Subscribe and ring the notification bell so you don’t miss a single video!
