The Demographic Disentrapment of Africa
---------------------------------------
Dear 'Afro-Nets'
Forgive me, I am a newcomer to this list.
I worked 20 years in 'public health' in Africa.
I have recently become much concerned about populations there exceeding
the carrying capacity of their ecosystems, AND having nowhere to mi-
grate to, AND having no exports and therefore no imports - in effect
being demographically trapped and faced with starvation and slaughter.
Demographic entrapment is intensely taboo to orthodox demography and
development economics, and their journals - the Hardinian taboo.
As a result Charles Elliott and I have had to open the website on demo-
graphic entrapment which you see below. Do browse it and do pass it
round the network.
I have a feeling that I should be at the December conference? What do
you think? Should I present a paper on demographic entrapment?
Do come back to me.
Meanwhile all the more strength to all your elbows.
