Population

DDC classification:

304.6 Mal V.2

Summary: This is the third leg of the famous tripod of 'Classical' English writers on political economy, the others being Adam Smith with his Wealth of Nations and David Ricardo with his Principles of Political Economy and Taxation (see back flap of this wrapper). Malthus in his time perceived something which had been apparent to none of his con temporaries in connection with what is now called human ecology-that nature maintained a system of checks and balances for the human as for other races, and that a given area would not carry more than a certain population at a given standard of nutrition. According to some estimates in six hundred years' time at the present rate of increase we shall each have one square yard of the earth's surface to live on, a calculation which brings home vividly the contemporary significance of Malthus.
