Is this some Soviet propaganda piece? "Reallocating" people is the right thing to do? Seriously? Rhetoric like this is part of why globalism was finally rejected over the past several years.
I don't disagree that a growing population is crucial to growing an economy, but the narrative the author advocates is asinine.

In reality the planner is the market, possibly with a few hints from government policies. This is understood by other economists but is disconcerting for real people.
