In a remarkable shift since the late 1960s, Americans of all political stripes have come to celebrate the economic virtues of population growth. As one of the only wealthy countries experiencing significant population growth in the twenty-first century, the United States now finds itself at a demographic crossroads, but policymakers seem unwilling or unable to address the myriad economic and environmental questions surrounding this growth. From the founders' fears that crowded cities would produce corruption, luxury, and vice to the zero population growth movement of the late 1960s to today's widespread fears of an aging crisis as the Baby Boomers retire, the American population debate has always concerned much more than racial composition or resource exhaustion, the aspects of the debate usually emphasized by historians. In The State and the Stork, Derek Hoff draws on his extraordinary knowledge of the intersections between population and economic debates throughout American history to explain the many surprising ways that population anxieties have provoked unexpected policies and political developments -- including the recent conservative revival. At once a fascinating history and a revelatory look at the deep origins of a crucial national conversation, The State and the Stork could not be timelier."--Provided by publisher. 000456704 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 000456704 651_0 $$aUnited States$$xPopulation policy. 000456704 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 000456704 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aHoff, Derek S.$$tState and the stork.$$dChicago ; London : The University of Chicago Press, 2012$$z9780226347622$$w(DLC) 2012001903$$w(OCoLC)773278549 000456704 8520_ $$bacq 000456704 85280 $$bebk$$hEBSCOhost 000456704 85640 $$3EBSCOhost$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site&db=nlebk&db=nlabk&AN=478437$$zOnline Access 000456704 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:456704$$pGLOBAL_SET 000456704 980__ $$aEBOOK 000456704 980__ $$aBIB 000456704 982__ $$aEbook 000456704 983__ $$aOnline 000456704 994__ $$a92$$bISE 000456704 999__ $$z635011069827924916
