The book is dedicated to the economics of natural resources and is written in a strong polemical vein. It shows the unfoundedness of the environmental alarmism widespread in the media and public consciousness. The author challenges misconceptions about the allegedly critical pollution of the environment by modern technical civilization, the global shortage of energy resources and minerals, the harmful effects of immigration and overpopulation.

The book debunks many myths regarding the economics of natural resources and exposes frauds and sometimes outright deception of environmentalists.

Based on statistical material and economic logic, the author convincingly proves that all kinds of resources and energy sources are becoming less scarce, the world is becoming cleaner, more food is being produced, population growth benefits everyone.
