In this book, Aurelio Peccei examines the immediate global crises associated with the imbalance in the development of industrialized countries, third world countries, with uneven technological progress, future food underproduction, the problem of overpopulation of the planet, etc. According to the author, it is urgent to establish birth control in all countries, otherwise we expect uncontrolled overpopulation, fraught with wars for resources, hunger, epidemics. Peccei writes that if emergency measures are not taken shortly in the near future, a hypothetical way out of the problem of "overpopulation" will be terrible and unethical: natural mechanisms (diseases, viruses, etc.) will be included, mass sterilization of the population will be carried out or total destruction of "extra mouths" was carried out. A serious obstacle to the establishment and implementation of a general plan for the development of the entire planet, Peccei sees in the existence of national states with their sovereignty based on political models of the eighteenth and nineteenth century. To solve these global problems, to circumvent the "limits of growth", Peccei puts forward the positive idea of â€â€"One World" and the program "Project 1969". According to the author, supranational and supra-regional bodies parallel to the UN (since the latter is too politicized) should be introduced that can take control of the chaotic movements of mankind by establishing a unified development plan for the whole planet.
