Ask Prof Wolff: When Population Stops Growing

A Patron of Economic Update asks: "To what degree can all economic systems to date be viewed as pyramid schemes, since they all seem to depend substantially upon population growth? And given that world population will have to level off at some point, has any thought been given to "best practices" for societies living with stable populations?"

This is Professor Richard Wolff's video response.
