Civics: We know best: Paul Ehrlich edition

This is the first page of Paul Ehrlich’s book ‘The Population Bomb’, published in 1968.
The book sold millions of copies and was taken very seriously.

Extraordinary how confident Ehrlich was when making these extremely dark predictions. pic.twitter.com/2wHTLo3vXu
