Yale Professor Explains Hitler’s Malthusianism, Thinks There’s Something to It

"The fundamental question boils down to this: Are humans destroyers or creators? If the idea is accepted that the world’s resources are fixed, with only so much to go around, then each new life is unwelcome, each unregulated act or thought is a menace, every person is fundamentally the enemy of every other person, and each race or nation is enemy of every other race or nation. The ultimate outcome of such a worldview can only be enforced stagnation, tyranny, war, and genocide.

Only in a world of freedom can resources be unlimited. Only in a world of unlimited resources can all men be brothers."
