While yes, I agree that governments tried to control population, I disagree that this is the outcome they were looking for, and disagree that planned government policy is largely responsible for the current situation. To break that down. I agree people would be a fool to think that governments don't have population objectives and act on them. The part I disagree with is: 1) What those objectives were. No government wanted to create a population bubble. 2) The impact of government reproductive policy relative to popular culture. I think these impacts are tiny in comparison to (other) economic policies, and general culture outside of the government. 3) The idea that policy on population size is treated as an end in of itself, versus a means to achieving other policy goals, such as economics and stability.
