Book desription: Chicago, IL, U.S.A: University of Chicago Press, 1984. Hard Cover. Very Good/Very Good. This book provides the first empirical evidence indicating that state growth and the centralization of political power have a direct effect on a country's mortality and fertility rates: as government grows, a nation's vital rates will decline: state growth precipitates a population explosion, and continued state growth, along with social and economic development, causes a drop in fertility as well; the authors construct an innovative index to measure political development and capacity (dust jacket has some shelf wear, small repaired tear)
