Booknews

Offers an exposition of Malthus' thought, integrating his better-known theory on population with his somewhat neglected analysis of economic development and social structure. Discusses trends since Malthus' day in fertility, mortality, and population growth, compares Malthus' economics with that of his contemporary, David Ricardo, and looks at links to Keynesian thought of more recent times. Originally published in 1979 by Harvard University Press, this edition contains a new introduction by the author on recent scholarship. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
