My list could get rather long but I’ll stick to the highlights.
My wife and I both read SRTHMK. I think we had one or two at the time. Now we have six. We already wanted a large family, but the book certainly helped give us confidence.
I got a copy of Open Borders and my kids consumed it. One of my daughters got into a fairly heated discussion with her grandfather (my dad) about the effects of immigrants. He was repeating tired aphorisms and she was slinging data from your book. I don’t think she convinced him, but it was great to see how she took the book to heart. We have a house next door that we rent (heavily discounted) to a refugee family of 14 (12 kids) and while the book was not the sole reason for this, it had some influence on my kids being open to the idea of befriending this family.
I’m sure the Case for Education was helpful, too, but it really just felt like reading it was extreme confirmation bias. 😆
