One Billion Americans
One Billion Americans: The Case for Thinking Bigger is a book by Matthew Yglesias, first published in 2020.

In order to support growth, Yglesias argues for a variety of programs, including increased government spending on child care and day care, the use of S-trains for urban transportation, and increased immigration to the United States, under the general rubric of increasing the American population.[2][3] It suggests that a substantial increase to the population of the United States is necessary to perpetuate American hegemony.[4] ....
