 Thomas
Malthus (1766-1834)
"Malthus was a
political economist who was concerned about, what he saw
as, the decline of living conditions in nineteenth
century England. He blamed this decline on three
elements: The overproduction of young; the inability of
resources to keep up with the rising human population;
and the irresponsibility of the lower classes."
