He addresses developing trends in countries like India and Africa, the ‘grain drain’ that becomes more and more prevalent with each year, and the big picture, Brown predicts, leaders will have to look at when making serious decisions concerning the future of the Earth.…

To achieve a more balanced carrying capacity he argued that population control at the family level would be necessary for society to continue to function. This type of thinking led to the implementation of population control programs, such as female sterilization that was forced upon women in undeveloped countries.
