Former Republican candidate for mayor Bill King is best described as a Democrat who understands accounting but not economics. He likes to balance budgets and make predictions. He just wrote about on how depopulation is changing the world:

In 63 countries home to 28 percent of the world’s people, populations are shrinking right now. China’s population is collapsing. Europe is aging into irrelevance. Global fertility has plummeted to barely above replacement level—and it’s still falling.

Countries that recognize and adapt to this new reality will thrive. Those clinging to outdated assumptions will struggle. The question isn’t whether depopulation will transform our world—it’s already happening. The question is whether we’ll prepare for it.

Depopulation: Our New Demographic Reality is essential reading for anyone who wants to understand the single most important trend shaping the 21st century. The future won’t look like the past. It’s time to reset our expectations before it’s too late.

Most likely, what he is seeing is that people now have two paths: a path to third-world status through first-world navel-gazing, or third-world status itself. Every option other than diverse civil rights mixed economy liberal democracy has been prohibited, so the system of systems cannot stop itself from repeating failed ideas.

He recently held a conference and some interesting stuff came out in his discussions with the experts.
