The standard line of sophisticated chaps on my book America Alone was that itโ€™s โ€œalarmist.โ€ But oddly enough everything I was supposedly being a demographic alarmist about has since been more or less accepted by those same sophisticates โ€” on Britain, Europe, China, and now Japan. From the BBC:

Thatโ€™s not a difficult question to answer, as even the Beebโ€™s Robin Lustig acknowledges. The trickier one is: What consequences will flow from the voluntary self-extinction of the developed world?
