REVIEW,BOOKLIST
"Morland's real skill is linking economic, political, military andcultural trends to the demographic story...lucid, jargon-free and full of neatobservations...The future, Morland concludes, is grey (societies that grow oldbefore they grow rich), green (as global population declines, humans will needless land and fewer resources) and much less white (because of more rapidgrowth of non-European populations and immigration into majority white countries)...this is an admirable introduction to a vital subject."—THE TIMES
"A global history that gallops from 1800 and Brexit to Donald Trump'swall, seen through the prism of births, deaths and migration... The Human Tide ispacked with information...This is, deliberately, a book for those with littleknowledge of demography...What are fascinating are the author's projections ofwhere we are heading demographically. To an older population in the UKcertainly: the number of people over 85 will treble in 30 years as thebaby-boomers age. That means a more indebted nation, but it could also mean amore peacefully inclined one"—SUNDAY TIMES
"Useful for students of geopolitics, international economics, and demography alike."—KIRKUS REVIEWS
"Engrossing...How many people live in a place, how old they are and howhungry they are, explains a lot about how their rulers behave, he argues. Doyou have a fast-growing young population like late-19th-century Germany? Yourneighbours will fear you. An imploding birth rate, like modern Italy? Youreconomy will probably shrink too. It's not a new idea but Morland offers plentyof evidence to prove just how much it matters...This book adds to the debate aboutthe basic causes of history."—BOOK OF THE WEEK,EVENING STANDARD
