Book Synopsis
From the colonial era to the present, the ever-shifting debate about America's almost uninterrupted population growth has exerted a profound influence on the evolution of politics, public policy, and economic thinking in the United States. This title explains the ways that population ideas and anxieties have provoked a wide range of policies.

Trade Review
"Derek S. Hoff has taken an important, complicated topic and traced it over the whole of American history. The research on display here is striking in its breadth and depth, Hoff's insights are penetrating, and his interpretation is original. The State and the Stork is a solid piece of scholarship." (Robert Collins, University of Missouri)"
