Población, progreso técnico y economía

Abstract

Economists are learning the truth as old as the Bible that population growth is good for progress. This article discusses how the growth of population stimulates technical progress while stagnation limits the numbers born of creative persons who are the real motors of growth. The Universe still has many secrets to reveal so it is a big mistake to penalize fiscally and culturally large families. The Welfare State gives misleading answers as to what should be done in the face of the ageing of society.
