What Our Customers Say...
Description
Original Binding, Publishers' Original Binding, With Dustwrapper
Complete in two volumes. Everyman's Library. Volume one is dated 1941 and volume two is dated 1933. An abridged version of Malthus' An Essay on the Principle of Population, first published anonymously in 1798. This study warned of future difficulties, on an interpretation of the population increasing in geometric progression while food production increased in an arithmetic progression, which would result in the want of food and famine, unless birth rates decreased. Written by Thomas Robert Malthus, an English economist, cleric, and scholar influential in the fields of political economy and demography.
