Why have birth rates in most developed countries plunged to all-time lows in the last century? In The Sterilization Movement and Global Fertility in the Twentieth Century, Ian Dowbiggin (History) draws on a wide variety of archival records, revealing how these revolutionary events can be traced to the efforts of a small group who tried mightily to convince governments that birth rates needed to be cut and that sterilization was the best way to do it.
