- ch4s3 1y agoI don’t agree with Thompson, his start date is the place where fertility hit a local minimum, not the year where the rate really took off which was 1946. A lot of the technological innovations actually predated his arguable start date by 5-10 years and several happened well into the boom. I think his explanation fits the thesis of his recent book, which I actually like, but it seem a bit off here.
