Fatal Misconception by Matthew Connelly is a historical examination of the global population control movement and its various ideological underpinnings.

The Population Bomb
The Population Bomb by Paul R.
Discussed“the population bomb, a 1968 book by Paul Erlick, that was probably the single most influential inspiration behind modern fears of overpopulation, was also profoundly racist. It quote opens its fear-mongering with a sensationalized account of traveling through Delhi, India during a taxi ride.”
