This is an incomplete question. This is usually answered by saying that if we all lived like Europe we would need 3 worlds and if we lived like USA we would need 4.
This
may or may not be true. But so what?
The
implication is that our lifestyle is actually desired by everyone.
And the truth is that it is not even desired by most of us. It is
clear that large numbers of Europeans and Americans are not happy. In
fact, they're downright miserable
If
we ask how many people can the earth continue to support with our
present civilisations and their present level of consumption?
So
we would be better off asking how many people can the earth support
who live happy and fulfilled lives?
