Eugenics, Economics, and the Family

  • Many eugenicists viewed population control as a vehicle for modernization, the introduction of liberal democracy, and, if properly pursued, world peace.
  • Two directions had formed: an outward view focusing on the global framework and an inward view focusing on the family.
  • Many eugenicists blamed racialized population subdivisions, principally those in the Third World, for resource depletion, skyrocketing fertility, and environmental degradation.
  • Negative Eugenics- marriage restrictions, immigration quotas and compulsory sterilizations.
  • Positive Eugenics- concentrated on encouraging those deemed fit to reproduce in higher numbers.
