Road to Survival

Even letting people die is OK, as you will see when we come to the next thinker.

So the next thinker I want to talk about is a gentleman named William Vogt, who in 1948 wrote a very influential book called The Road to Survival.

I have a quiz question for you guys now.

In that book, he said that the greatest national asset of Chile is...

And about India, fundamentally...

He blamed British rule for India's predicament and, you know, had crazy prognostications of how India would do.

Now, one of the young people who read this book, The Road to Survival, 1948, was a guy called Paul Ehrlich.

Now, Paul Ehrlich is, in my mind, one of the most mistaken scholars of all time and perhaps even one of the most evil.
