There are exceptions, but they are few and far between. Wealth is by far the strongest correlator with population growth. And it's a correlation, not a causation, too, as it shifts as a country becomes wealthier.
Human populations do not expand geometrically except when *other factors* allow it. It's a well established fact. It's silly to treat humans like a bunch of yeast cells in a vial.
