Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book challenges prevailing assumptions on poverty, analyzing the consequences of the principle of population, a driving force in human history. The author argues that societies tend toward a balance of population and resources, with the tendency for populations to grow faster than resources resulting in misery and poverty when unchecked. Governments often attempt to rectify this imbalance with poor laws that provide welfare, but these efforts often prove inadequate and sometimes exacerbate the problem by encouraging population growth beyond the carrying capacity of the environment. The insights presented challenge widely-held beliefs about population control and the role of government in alleviating poverty, offering a nuanced perspective on a subject of vital importance to society.
