"...well-referenced and carefully navigated. {Whitney} explores big demographic issues and their intersections with other global forces in an even-handed, restrained, and thoughtful way...the book is well-researched and scientifically sound...What I liked about it most, however, was the constructive, rationally optimistic tone throughout the whole book."
— Population and Development Review

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”
