Garrett Hardin, Ph.D. - A retrospective of his life and work by Richard Lynn - The Garrett Hardin Society (2922 words)
Hardin's prescription for this problem is for the first world nations to cease to give aid to third world countries and let them solve their own problems of adjusting their population size to the productive capacity of their lands.
Hardin does not offer any detailed advice to governments of third world countries on how to control the growth of their burgeoning populations, but he is clear that some form of compulsion will probably be necessary and is justified.
Hardin is aware that many economists dispute his claim that world population has already reached its optimum, but he castigates them for their failure to recognize the principles of limited natural resources, diseconomies of scale and the complexity of ecological systems which are easily destroyed by human exploitation.
I1209: James Allen HARDIN (2 Sep 1830 - 28 Feb 1905) (901 words)
Colonel Hardin crossed the Plains with his parents when he was twenty-three years of age in 1853 and the same year he started in the cattle business.
Colonel Hardin had crossed the plains six times with droves of cattle; had made six round trips across the continent by rail, and was in railroad wrecks and shipwrecks.
Hardin was a member of the board of trustees of the Pacific Methodist College in Santa Rosa, and he materially aided its fortunes.
