Malthus was right. Mass of the entire universe is 16 followed by 54 zeros kilograms (I googled it). An average person weighs about 50 kg. This means that after about 200 doublings (about 1,500 years if doubling happens every 25 years) a single couple’s progeny will fill the entire universe. Just enter =POWER(2,200) in Excel to check my calculations.
Attempts at population control are futile because in the long run people who practice birth control will be replaced by people that don’t.

"If population grows faster than GDP"
IF. IF IF IF. But why would GDP grow so slowly? Not because people are being born. That's frickin stupid.

Why not? If population grows faster than GDP/capita, a country becomes poorer. It is a very large problem in third world countries.

In the course of history people have beneficiated immensely by having more people around them. People are not rats or bugs so we don't overpopulate. We create resources. More people contributing the better.

America's productivity is so high that we actually have surpluses of food. We also have one of the least densely populated countries. As population goes up, productivity goes up. As population goes up, demand for food goes up. Has demand goes up, and productivity goes up, more food will be produced in a free economy.
So no, there is not a overpopulation problem in a free economy.

"Governmnet control is the parent of poverty." -Mr Cropper

Mr Cropper, if "Government control is the parent of poverty", was there poverty before government?

Yes, poverty is the oldest experience of mankind. Government protection of rights is what makes prosperity and wealth possible.
