Malthus" by Charles R. Drysdale is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The work explores the life and foundational theories of Thomas Robert Malthus, emphasizing his contributions to the understanding of population dynamics and its economic implications. Drysdale provides an analysis of Malthus's influential "Essay on the Principle of Population," detailing its historical reception and the ongoing relevance of its ideas regarding population growth and societal development. The opening of the book sets the stage by highlighting Malthus's significant role in the population debate, underscoring that many remain unaware of his contributions despite his theories being acknowledged as pivotal by legal and philosophical authorities. It delves into Malthus's background, including his education at Cambridge and his early influences, which culminated in the publication of his seminal essay in 1798. The narrative hints at Malthus's travels and studies across Europe, where he gathered data to support his arguments about the tendency of populations to grow faster than the means of subsistence, thereby outlining a framework for understanding socioeconomic issues related to poverty and overpopulation that persists into modern discussions.
