Jennifer Roback Morse reviews one of the better books about the
demographic winter coming our way, yes, the way of the West, not just America.
She prefaces her review with this remark: “At last, a book on demography that
talks about its relation to sexual culture.” In her review she expands on one
of the book’s distinctives, which I find to be rare—but essential—in any of today’s serious demographic studies:
And just to show he is
really bold, he connects the dots between all these problems and the ultimate
sacred cow, contraception. Yes, the technology of contraception makes all these
things either seem like good ideas, or leads to behaviors that make delayed
marriage, abortion and non-marital childbearing inevitable.
