Korea has gone from 13 million people in all of the country in 1910 to 50 million just in the south. South Korea only produces half the food the country needs and the whole country is just endless sprawl or mountains. There is almost no flat land that isn't occupied by humans. Asian megacities are some of the most dystopian places on Earth, it is just endless sprawl. South Korea very much needs a shrinking population.

That's the biggest problem with capitalism and one people like Keith Woods hit right on the head. Capitalism needs growth, be it in GDP or people. Shrinking population from highly dense nations like Japan or South Korea may seem like a good thing to most but to a capitalist it is hell on earth
