This is the fourth talk in a series called Seven Billion and YOU.

The Economics of the Seven Billion presented by Dr. Nicolas Eberstadt, Chair in Political Economy, American Enterprise Institute, Washington, DC.

How can health and wealth be expanding as populations grow?

Population levels have nearly quadrupled over the 20th centry, but most of us are actually living longer, healthier and wealthier lives. Food production is still outstripping global need. Is it possible we are misreading the situation? Regardless, can voluntary family planning programs have any real impact? What is the effective role of parental choice?

Reservations are recommended: www.sfu.ca/reserve
