    Hmm...I wonder why the birth rate has been declining since 1950...Can't have anything to do with declining material conditions, can it? thonk

      It's less due to raw material conditions and more due to growing contradiction between socialized production and private reproduction. That's why peasants had much bigger birth rates while having worse quality of life.

        Interesting. What are some resources that elaborate on this?

        Wouldn't that have also been due to the fact that infant mortality was absolutely awful back in those days?
