Charlie Rose's Tuesday, May 18, 2010 conversation with Joel Kotkin - author of 'The Next Hundred Million' -

CHARLIE ROSE: Joel Kotkin is here. He is a distinguished
presidential fellow in urban futures at Capp University in California.
His new book is called "The Next 100 Million -- America in 2050." This
book imagines what is America will look like 40 years from now when the
population will grow from 300 to 400 million.

I am pleased to have Joel Kotkin at this table. Welcome.

JOEL KOTKIN: Great to be here.

CHARLIE ROSE: So tell me how you came to write this? What does a
geographer do?

JOEL KOTKIN: Well, geography is one of those skills that`s
declined, like history, over time. You try to understand how people fit
in with space, with place, with this particular location.

And the reason I came to the book was one thing. One is that after
we had 300 million I asked a demographer friend, well, when we do we get
to 400 hundred million. He said about 2050. I said, well, somebody
ought to be writing about this.

CHARLIE ROSE: It was a nice sort of timeline.

JOEL KOTKIN: It`s a milestone like 300 million was. And, you
never know, we never thought we could support 300 million people, and in
many ways the country`s better than it was when it was 200 million.
