An Essay on the Principle of Population - Vol. 2

About The Book

Around 1796 Mr. Malthus an English gentleman had finished reading a book that confidently predicted human life would continue to grow richer more comfortable and more secure and that nothing could stop the march of progress. He discussed this theme with his son Thomas and Thomas ardently disagreed with both his father and the book he had been reading along with the entire idea of unending human progress. Mr. Malthus suggested that he write down his objections so that they could discuss them point-by-point. Not long after Thomas returned with a rather long essay. His father read it and was so impressed that he urged his son to have it published. And so in 1798 Thomas Malthus An Essay on Population appeared. Though it was attacked at the time and ridiculed for many years afterward it has remained one of the most influential works in the English language on the general checks and balances of the worlds population and its necessary control.
