Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This fascinating book assesses the impact of population growth on human well-being, from the personal and familial level to the national and international stage. The author explains that as a population expands, its growth rate slows, a principle which applies not only to individuals but also to groups, both human and animal, and indeed even plants. Drawing parallels with Malthus's work, the author contends that human populations, unlike plant populations, have the potential to increase food production and thus escape the constraints of the natural environment. However, the author demonstrates that this is only possible up to a point, as all resources are finite, and that if a population continues to grow unchecked, poverty and misery will inevitably ensue. Suggesting that the problem of overpopulation has been exacerbated by the Industrial Revolution, which has led to urbanization and reduced mortality rates, the author proposes that it might be addressed through either reducing birth rates or increasing death rates, although the latter is of course undesirable. The book concludes that nations must either agree to limit population growth or enter into defensive alliances to protect themselves from overpopulated neighbors.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - 'The Problem of Population' is a compelling examination of the socio-economic and ethical challenges posed by human demographic growth. Written by Harold Cox, this work explores the intricate relationship between population density and the well-being of society, arguing that uncontrolled expansion presents a significant threat to global stability and individual prosperity. Cox provides a thorough analysis of Malthusian principles, applying them to the realities of the early 20th century while advocating for a more rational approach to reproduction and social planning.The text delves into several critical themes, including the economic consequences of overpopulation, the ethics of birth control, and the environmental constraints of the natural world. Cox addresses the moral responsibilities of the state and the individual, suggesting that the quality of life should take precedence over sheer numbers. By linking demographic trends to issues of poverty, unemployment, and international conflict, 'The Problem of Population' offers a historical perspective on debates that continue to shape modern social policy and economic thought.
