How does breeding in large numbers allow them to raise a child? Do they feed the kids to one another?The mortality of infants and children in pre-modern economies is indeed equilibrated by poverty. But obviously the equilibrium must occur at a wage rate at which the poor can replace their numbers, and if they are to replace their numbers they have to be able to feed at least one kid.Also: if someone uses firewood, and doesn't have to pay for it, it must be free for the gathering.Regards,Agback</blockquote>
