Yeah, so it's um, I'm kind of making the case off a book that was released recently and has got a lot of attention in economic policy circles and also in finance, I've worked in finance for about 10 years so I know kind of both scenes. It's a book by Charles Goodheart and another economist called Pratam and they're making it, they're kind of laying out, we've known for a long time that uh that birth rates were becoming problematic probably for about 20 years and there have long been debates about it, I know in America it's long been debated about social security and whether it can maintain its um its its its solvency, but this book kind of was was talking about more of the kind of real forces that most people would face and I thought it was the first time that economists had actually tried to to think through what it would be like to live in a world that has serious problems with population growth and um although the book is very good and I much recommend it, it is a technical macroeconomics book and it focused really on the technicals and I thought that there was a case to be made to try and write an essay about that kind of imagining what that would look like through a political economy lens.

He's also written a book critical of neoclassical economics called the Reformation in Economics.
Yeah so it's um I'm kind of making the case off a book that was released recently and has got a lot of attention in economic policy circles and also in finance.
It's a book by Charles Goodheart and another economist called Pratam and they're making it they're kind of laying out we've known for a long time that uh that birth rates were becoming problematic probably for about 20 years and there have long been debates about it I know in America it's long been debated about social security and whether it can maintain its um its its its solvency.
But this book kind of was was talking about more of the kind of real forces that most people would face and I thought it was the first time that economists had actually tried to to think through what it would be like to live in a world that has serious problems with population growth and um although the book is very good and I much recommend it it is a technical macroeconomics book and it focused really on the technicals.
And I thought that there was a case to be made to try and write an essay about that kind of imagining what that would look like through a political economy lens.
