The recipient, the economist Robert L.

An important work by the distinguished American demographer and historian of economic thought Joseph J. Spengler (1902-1991), the culmination of his extensive research on the economics of zero population growth undertaken since the 1930s. 'A volume that is outstanding in scholarship and coverage. Drawing on his unrivalled knowledge of the literature, he presents not only a summary history of theoretical speculation but also a detailed survey of the demographic and economic problems facing countries experiencing a cessation of population growth' (contemporary review by Brinley Thomas in Economica).
