The general perception is that “growth is good.” Why isn population growth good?
A Population growth is just another way of saying more people. More people can be good or can be bad. On a 200-seat airplane, population growth from 100 passengers to 200 passengers would be good–especially for the airplane’s owners. However, population growth to 300 passengers would be bad–for everyone. In this case, the key question is: What is the carrying capacity of the airplane. In America’s case, the key question is: What is the carrying capacity of our nation?
