Oded Galor - Author of “The Journey of Humanity” - Founder of Unified Growth Theory

Oded Galor is Herbert H. Goldberger Professor of Economics at Brown University and the founding thinker behind Unified Growth Theory, which seeks to uncover the fundamental causes of development, prosperity and inequality over the entire span of human history. He has shared the insights of his lifetime’s work in this field at some of the most prestigious lectures around the globe and has now distilled those discoveries into The Journey of Humanity, which is published in 30  languages worldwide."If we reduce population growth by 1% in the world economy, we can have growth in income per capita at a level of about 7% and still hold carbon emissions unchanged. Namely, by reducing population growth, we can permit growth in income per capita without polluting planet earth more than otherwise. So this is very important because it suggests to us that policies that target gender equality, the diffusion of contraceptive methods, and the rewards of education are policies that could mitigate population growth and ultimately permit the growth of income per capita without the liability of greater carbon emissions."www.odedgalor.comwww.brown.edu/academics/population-studies/people/person/oded-galorThe Journey of Humanity www.oneplanetpodcast.orgwww.creativeprocess.info
