There are 330 million people in the United States. Vox co-founder
and economics journalist Matt Yglesias makes the case for adding
670 million more in his new book, "One Billion Americans: The Case
for Thinking Bigger." With an increased population size, the U.S.
could maintain its status as a world superpower, increase its
wealth and improve its population’s standards of living, Yglesias
argues. We'll talk about how his argument relates to current
domestic policies on climate change, immigration and family
benefits.
