My problem with it is that it is a public policy failure. Capitalism and perpetual economic growth fundamentally needs more people.
At some point economies will do the math and public policy and figure out how to keep the expansion going.
The US hasn't done it because Mexican immigration fills the gaps. But Germany, China, Russia, and (holy crap) South Korea (although I suspect South Korea will absorb a shitton of North Koreans some day when the regime collapses).
What happenes when biotech extends human life and achieves the artificial womb? Go ahead, say its impossible.
