Well that might actually not be the worst thing to happen
Easy to say if your surviving malaria is not dependent on global economic growth lifting you out of poverty
It poses a fascinating question whether unbridled growth of the economy is valid to support unbridled growth of population. Not saying that people facing malaria shouldn't be helped, but if it depends on an ever growing economy we might have a problem.
I strongly disagree.
Economic growth has outpaced population growth for centuries.
Unbridled growth of population is a 20th century worry. Population growth is stopping, and there will be a global population decline, probably before the end of the century.
You know what's the best way to stop population growth, in practice, based on the data we have?
Best way to reduce poverty?
If anything, economic growth is causing population growth to stop.
