Review Quotes
"Rational optimists are history's heroes. They accurately
identify credible threats, and then lead us to overcome those
threats by focusing on solutions. In Demographic Deception,
Whitney makes it clear that we have very different population
challenges than we think. And then he guides us to
pragmatic solutions and a bright future."
-Bert Jacobs
Co-founder and CEO, The Life is Good Company
"In Demographic Deception, Whitney raises an incredibly
important issue for the future of the world economy. Then
he asks the right questions-what does a decreasing world
population mean for labor and capital markets and, ultimately,
economic growth and inequality? I hope this book
gets our society to start the process of getting to the answers."
-Geoffrey Sanzenbacher, PhD
Associate professor of the practice, Boston College, Department
of Economics
"Whitney's Demographic Deception does a surgical dive into
the veins of demographics and challenges the status quo to
evoke discussion and discourse to ensure the future of nations
and global economies."
-Kris Meyer
Hollywood producer, CEO, MuddHouse Media
"Like that memorable college professor who's teaching style
makes crystal clear even the most convoluted subject matter,
Dustin Whitney debunks with surgical precision the myth
of overpopulation. His passion for this is contagious, and
he does it with an alluring conversational style that makes
the material not only digestible, but quite appetizing in
the traditionally confusing and dry world of demographic
data. Unafraid to take on this rhetoric that there are too
many humans, he comprehensively educates the reader on
this topic about which few of us know much and explains to
us how and why we should know more."
-Jason Fanuele, MD
Assistant professor, The Warren Alpert Medical School, Brown
University
"Dustin Whitney looks at a global trend that will have
distinct local implications. A future of declining population
challenges common strategies about competing for people
and talent to build stronger communities and economies.
Whitney's work will give anyone interested in stronger communities
and economic development some fresh perspectives
on how to approach the future."
-Peter Forman
President and CEO, Chamber of commerce, SSMA
"Demographic Deception is a very thought-provoking book
that shines an honest, common sense light on the forces of
ignorance and deceit manipulating society. Dustin Whitney
takes a careful approach, using compelling good news/bad
news segments, in debunking the myths about generational
divides promoted by special interests. This fascinating
material underscores the need for open public debate to
counterbalance the deceit and ensure the best possible future
outcome.
Demographic Deception deserves to be shared widely as an
illuminating guidebook to help leaders and citizens re-think
establishment groupthink and secure our shared destiny. I
cannot wait to buy copies for others who will benefit from
Whitney's urgent wakeup call."
