Samenvatting
Thomas Malthus (1766–1834) was a renowned political economist who focused on the relationship between population, social conditions, and economic growth. Originally published in 1926, this volume focuses on the nature of population, and the issues surrounding it, during the age of Malthus. A detailed analysis is built up using contemporary sources, including a large amount of statistical data. Additionally, a large bibliography is included. This is a highly informative text that will be of value to anyone with an interest in economics and British history.
