For a well-written and brief essay that touts rational optimism, slams Paul
Ehrlich, and calls for enriching the developing world, see Richard A. Muller,
"The Conservation Bomb," Technology Review, June 14, 2002, at
<http://www.technologyreview.com/articles/wo_muller061402.asp>. The
introductory paragraph:

I have friends who otherwise like me but consider me morally depraved for
thinking that the population bomb is not going to kill us all. It is an
unpopular time to be an optimist. But a recent discovery in population
dynamics, and a fascinating discovery I call "Rosenfeld's Law," may
eventually drive the world toward a happier conclusion.
