Malthus: 'An Essay on the Principle of Population' - Cambridge Texts in the History of Political Thought
T. R. Malthus
This 1992 book provides a student audience with the best scholarly edition of Malthus' Essay on the Principle of Population. Written in 1798 as a polite attack on post-French-revolutionary speculations on the theme of social and human perfectibility, it remains one of the most powerful statements of the limits to human hopes set by the tension between population growth and natural resources.
