'''''The Population Bomb''''' is a 1968 book written by Stanford University Professor Paul R. Ehrlich and his wife, Anne Ehrlich. It predicted worldwide famine due to overpopulation, as well as other major societal upheavals, and advocated immediate action to limit population growth. Fears of a "population explosion" existed in the TheFifties and TheSixties, as the worldwide economy experienced a resurgence after UsefulNotes/WorldWarII, but the book and its author brought the idea to an even wider audience.
