Scale by Geoffrey West and Why Information Grows by Cesar Hidalgo both support on the idea that we need a lot of people to have a high standard of living.

They come at it from different angles, but agree that (large) social networks are crucial for the generation and execution of ideas.

It is entirely possible that taking our current society and rearranging it will produce more total output than simply adding more people.
