After the Spike+The Moving of Mountains

About This Book

Most people on Earth today live in a country where birth rates already are too low to stabilize the population: fewer than two children for every two adults. In After the Spike, economists Dean Spears and Michael Geruso sound a wakeup call, explaining why global depopulation is coming, why it matters, and what to do now.

The Moving of Mountains tells the inspiring story of how a small group of visionaries transformed Agastya into one of the world’s most respected educational foundations. Through a hands-on, innovative approach to science education, Agastya has sparked curiosity, nurtured creativity, and empowered thousands of children across India and beyond. From its humble beginnings to global recognition, this book highlights Agastya’s resilience, scalable solutions, and pioneering methods that are shaping the future of education. A must-read for educators, policymakers, and social entrepreneurs, it offers both a compelling case study and a practical guide for implementing impactful educational innovations.
