Abstract:
The United Nations' second World Population Conference met for more than a week earlier this month in Mexico City. Predictably, it called for greatly expanded funding for family planning assistance worldwide. Should incentives for small families be implemented, if coupled with decisions to spur free and open economies, mankind may be able to harness the intellectual genius of the human mind-and insure progress for a more moderately sized human family rather than a menial existence for infinitely expanding numbers.
