Current reading

I am currently reading Jacqueline Kasun's, The War Against Population. This is a economic based analysis aimed at planning agencies who believe (apparently against the evidence) that over-population is the cause of poverty. It does not largely deal with environmental issues, though it touches on them. The solution Kasun proposes is market-based with individual property ownership, but to be fair she does not indicate how this could be achieved in countries in which the rule of law has long been superceded by thugocracy or other. Still interesting reading. The book was updated and revised in 1999.
