Description
87% of Europeans want two children or more. 1.4 are born. The distance between those figures is not cultural or ideological: it is an invoice. This book breaks it down — who collects the coupon on the child you finance, why the most generous check on the planet failed to move a single cradle, and what happens when the system signs debt against people who do not yet exist and those people find the perfect default: not showing up. The ledger is open. The numbers do not negotiate.
