Overall I agree with most of the analysis, that sizes of population are a key factor. That, though, still leaves a large role for government. One of the best ways to insure a reasonable population size is to insure that women have the opportunity to live their own lives independently. Women's liberation is one of the best means of birth control. Secondly, men, when their standard of living rises and they're able to find meaning in their work, are more likely to also want small families. So, if we don't want to be overtaken by clamoring masses, we need a structure that provides opportunity (to all, not just to the wealthy) so that birth rates will go down.
