A Macat examination of Thomas Robert Malthus's An Article on the Process of People Cambridge: Cambridge School Press, 1992 Perhaps one of the most influential books on economics ever written, Thomas Robert Malthus's An Article on the Process of People remains one of the most controversial too. This 1798 work encouraged naturalists Charles Darwin and Alfred Russel Wallace to develop the idea of natural selection. Nonetheless it in addition has sparked criticism - Karl Marx famously called Malthus a "lackey of the bourgeoisie." Yet this hasn't discontinued leading present-day environmentalists from taking up Malthus's ideas. Malthus foresees a period when available resources won't support the growing society. To save society, he concludes, society progress must be reined in. Malthus advocates reducing federal government support for the poor, which he believes contributes to more births and finally more hardship. He also insists that each intimate restraint is a essential way to control population progress. The adjective "Malthusian" still pops up today, describing several thinkers and authors who share a specific matter about overpopulation - and a typical approach to its analysis. You'll find out more about how exactly Malthus's ideas have been challenged and applied - and exactly how his work has impacted on thinkers in other academics disciplines - by exploring further in the Macat Library.
