Malthus: Founder of Modern DemographyRoutledge, 16. jan. 2018 - 302 sider Thomas Robert Malthus (1766-1834), one of the most influential of modern thinkers, is also one of the most misunderstood.

This book offers a comprehensive and accurate exposition of his thought, integrating his better-known theory on population with his somewhat neglected analysis of economic development and social structure. |
