The Rising Influence of Rising Affluence

[OakesCS]

Welllll.....that would depend how u want to count. The Nazi genocide was the 1st thing that came to my mind when I read that statement in the WSJ. So if worst social policy is measured in terms of immediate deaths vs precluded births, then yeah, the Chinese govt's policy wins the bad policy award. However, I suspect if I were to argue in front of a tv camera that the Chinese birth policy was worse than the Nazi govt's internment and death camps, then I suspect I would be roundly pilloried.
