An Essay on the Principle of Population

About this book

In the late 18th century, Thomas R. Malthus penned "An Essay on the Principle of Population," a seminal work delving into the intricate relationship between population growth and subsistence. Malthus vividly illustrates the concept that population tends to surge geometrically, while food production can only rise arithmetically. This groundbreaking document sheds light on the pressing concerns surrounding overpopulation and resource scarcity, offering invaluable insights into the challenges faced by societies worldwide. Ideal for scholars and historians seeking a deeper understanding of demographic trends and sustainability issues, this essay remains a cornerstone in the realm of population studies.
