The Ultimate Resource 2
by Julian Simon

The late Julian Simon led a vigorous challenge to conventional beliefs about scarcity of energy and natural resources, the effects of immigration, and the "perils of overpopulation" by arguing that the ultimate resource is the human imagination coupled to the human spirit. Now Princeton University Press presents The Ultimate Resource 2 in paperback. A wholly revised and expanded edition of his 1981 classic, this new edition builds on the comprehensive data, careful quantitative research, and economic logic contained in the first edition using economic statistics gathered during the sixteen years between the publication of the two books. Those statistics have, for the most part, proven Simon correct. "Julian Simon's 1981 book The Ultimate Resource excoriated prominent environmentalists for resorting to scare tactics and data-bending.... As Simon notes, the past sixteen years have been kind to many of his ideas.... Much as Simon had predicted, global per capita food production edged upward steadily while population rose and air quality improved in many places and ways." --Kathleen Courrier, The Washington Post "With a full understanding of the opposition and smears he would encounter, Simon nevertheless wrote The Economics of Population Growth, Population Matters, and his best-known book, The Ultimate Resource. To him, the ultimate resource was human intelligence. We should also add, in honor of Simon, the courage to use that intelligence." --Thomas Sowell, Chicago Sun-Times The hardcover edition was a Selection of the Laissez Faire Book Club.
