«If the world's population had the productivity of the Swiss, the consumption habits of the Chinese, the egalitarian instincts of the Swedes, and the social discipline of the Japanese, then the planet could support many times its current population (...). On the other hand, if the world's population had the productivity of Chad, the consumption habits of the United States, the egalitarian instincts of India, and the social discipline of Yugoslavia, the planet could not support anywhere near its current numbers. Unfortunately, most humans seem to fall in the America-India-Chad-Yugoslavia category.»

Lester Thurow, Head to Head, 1992.
