A close look at population, policy, and prosperity through the lens of a foundational economic argument. This edition gathers additions to an influential essay on population, exploring how birth, death, and marriage rates shape nations, eras, and the balance between subsistence and progress. It draws on historical data from France around the revolution and discusses how social conditions, wages, and public policy affect demographic trends.

Readers will encounter careful analysis of how government actions, price changes, and human behavior interact to influence population growth. The material surveys arguments about famine, land use, and the incentives that drive families and economies, offering a disciplined view of the forces that limit or expand population in society.

How demographic rates interact with economic conditions across time and places.

Effects of policy instruments on capital allocation and food supply, including export practices and agriculture.

Connections between wages, living conditions, and family decisions in shaping population trends.

Debates on checks to population, including moral restraint and prudential limits, within a historical context.

Ideal for readers of economic history, political economy, and classic population theory, as they consider how early theories still inform understanding of population and policy today.
