Bøker av Thomas Robert Malthus

A new edition of the authoritative 1803 version of Malthus's work together with critical essays exploring its influence in political, social, economic, and literary thought

While millions face hunger, malnutrition, and starvation, the world's population is increasing by over 225,000 people per day, 80 million per year.

Published anonymously, this is the 1798 first edition of Malthus' provocative work of political and economic theory. His discussions of prostitution, contraception and sex, and his denial of the right of the poor to be supported in the face of famine, poverty and disease, made this a highly controversial text.
