	Exploding Population Myths by Jim Peron The Free Market Foundation of Southern Africa Introduction Michael A

		Nations that abandon state economic planning for free markets see a dramatic increase in food production and even the poorest of the poor are better fed because of that increase.
		Their attempt to corner the silver market resulted only in the redistribution of their wealth to thousands of others, who suddenly found themselves with windfall profits.
