About this Item

Print on Demand. This book introduces Thomas Robert Malthus and his influential work on population theory. The author was an English philosopher and economist who lived in the late 18th century. His work 'An Essay on the Principle of Population' has significantly impacted the understanding of population growth and its relationship to economics and societal development. Malthus argued that population growth tends to outpace the available resources for subsistence, leading to a constant struggle for survival and widespread misery. He believed that this disparity between population growth and resource availability is a fundamental obstacle to achieving lasting human progress. The book explores the complex dynamics of population, resource availability, and societal well-being, offering insights that continue to inform discussions on environmental sustainability, economic development, and social inequality. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.

Synopsis

Excerpt from Parallel Chapters From the First and Second Editions of an Essay on the Principle of Population: 1798: 1803

In reprinting the chapters from the first and second editions the original spelling and punctuation have been followed. After the second edition the text of the work remained substantially the same; but frequent changes of diction were made, in most cases to improve the style, but in some to remove objections by more carefully guarded statement.
