and zero population growth to achieve sustainable stabilization.

• Universal free healthcare that includes all pain killers, family planning services,
and a most generous and unstinting freedom in all manners of assisted euthanasia.
• Redistribution of financial wealth and megacities according to a communitarian
social democracy favoring habitat protection—commons taxed according to their
natural capital appreciation/depreciation—and in so doing, re-thinking the civic

Population Bomb (1968) in which he coupled unending logarithmic doubling-times of the human
population, arriving in 900 years at “sixty million billion people”; “100 persons for each square
yard of the Earth’s surface, land and sea” or fitted into “a continuous 2000-story building covering
our entire planet.” See The Population Bomb, 2nd edition, Sierra Club Books, San Francisco, p.14;
