Description: OWN A PIECE OF HISTORY! REDUCED TODAY ONLY by $200! Was $899 -Now $699! 'The Birth Dearth: What Happens When People in Free Countries Don't Have Enough Babies' is as provocative, timely, and relevant in today's highly divisive conversation regarding women's reproductive choice as it was when this book was first written in 1987. The author's dire warning about "What Happens When People in Free Countries Don't Have Enough Babies" may be an underlying fear that still feeds the roots of today's "hot topic" conversation about a woman's right to choose; it's as politically charged and important now as it was in 1987 when this book was first published. In The Birth Dearth, author Ben J. Wattenberg stresses the urgency of breeding as if the world as we know it will end if women don't have more babies. Especially, WHITE BABIES. The author's antithetical argument to over-population, is perhaps more controversial today than it was when The Birth Dearth was first published! BUT THAT'S NOT ALL! This particular copy is a FIRST EDITION AUTOGRAPHED & INSCRIBED collectible edition of 'The Birth Dearth: What Happens When People in Free Countries Don't Have Babies?' by Ben J. Wattenberg, is in very good condition, with expected signs of wear due to age on the cover jacket. The spine is tight, and there are no markings. This copy is autographed and inscribed to Liz Carpenter, a political powerhouse who served as Lyndon B. Johnson's executive assistant, and later as Lady Bird Johnson's press secretary. Carpenter was also the author of the 58-word speech that then Vice President Lyndon B. Johnson read in front of Air Force One after returning to Washington, D.C. following the assasination of President Kennedy. Carpenter was known to be a fiesty feminist, with a great sense of humor, She had a respectful association with author Wattenberg, and no doubt, the subject of this book, The Birth Dearth, would surely have ignited that feminist fire. Without too many spoilers, I will say that this collectible First Edition autographed copy is more profound today than it even was when Wattenberg first put pen to page. With the reversal of Roe v, Wade, the subject is as incendiary now as it was when The Birth Dearth: What Happens When People in Free Countries Don't Have Enough Babies? was first published in 1987. Regardless of political affiliation, or personal beliefs, this collectible piece of history is a book that everyone might benefit from reading and relating to the past and present times, when choice is at the center of politics and of human rights discussions. The inscription from the author to Ms. Carpenter is in near perfect legible condition, as is evident in the photos. This book is a national treasure, particularly at this time of the over turned Roe Vs Wade by the United States Supreme Court Justices. The price reflects the rare and historical value of this priceless autographed, 1st Edition copy of The Birth Dearth. Got Questions?
