- Teeorb 3y agoScale economy is too simplistic, that it is ignoring loads of social aspects of a realistic economy. Also population cannot be stacked together costlessly(scale economy within a limited landscape), just imagine this place, can you live there? In fact, no single one highly and densely populated developed region can have a significant positive growth in population. There is much more than just scale of economy.
