Reviews
There is no better analyst to guide us through the complex political, social, and economic implications of this development than Ben Wattenberg., This thought-provoking book addresses an important issue and is presented in nontechnical language accessible to a wide spectrum of readers. Highly recommended., An engagingly argued look at what happens when we get what we wish for, and Wattenberg is the thinker to write it., It is important that good minds pay close attention to these changes. This book is a very helpful contribution to that effort., He has done his homework in a breezy and provocative style while providing the data to support his concern., He has done his homework...in a breezy and provocative style while providing the data to support his concern., He has done his homework…in a breezy and provocative style while providing the data to support his concern., This fascinating book tells us more than anything yet about why we are Fewer.... I strongly recommend it., Keeping his statistics comprehensible to the demographic novice, he...skillfully analyzes the economic and social situations that might occur.

Synopsis
Fewer tells a monumental human story, largely ignored, but which promises to starkly change the human condition in the years to come. Never before have birth and fertility rates fallen so far, so fast, so low, for so long, in so many places, so surprisingly. In Fewer , Ben Wattenberg shows how and why this has occurred, and explains what it means for the future. The demographic plunge, he notes, is starkly apparent in the developed nations of Europe and Japan, which will lose about 150 million people in the next half century. Starting from higher levels, but moving with geometric speed, the demographic decline is also apparent in the less developed nations of Asia, Africa, and Latin America. Only the United States (so far) has been exempt from the birth dearth, leaving America as more than "the sole super-power." Perhaps it should be called the global "omni-power." These stark demographic changes will affect commerce, the environment, public financing, and geo-politics. Here Wattenberg lists likely winners and losers. In Wattenberg's world of "The New Demography" readers get a look at a topic often chattered about, but rarely understood., Never before have birth and fertility rates fallen so far, so fast, so low, for so long, in so many places, so surprisingly.
