Publisher's Synopsis
Parallel Chapters from the First and Second Editions of An Essay on the Principle of Population, 1798 to 1803 is a book written by Thomas Robert Malthus and published in 1895. The book is a compilation of parallel chapters from the first and second editions of Malthus' famous work, An Essay on the Principle of Population. Malthus' essay, which was first published in 1798, argued that population growth would eventually outstrip the resources available to sustain it, leading to poverty, famine, and disease. The second edition, published in 1803, included revisions and updates to Malthus' original arguments. This book presents a side-by-side comparison of the two editions, highlighting the changes and additions made by Malthus. It provides insight into the evolution of Malthus' ideas on population growth and resource scarcity, as well as the historical context in which these ideas were developed. Overall, Parallel Chapters from the First and Second Editions of An Essay on the Principle of Population, 1798 to 1803 is a valuable resource for those interested in the history of economic thought and the development of Malthusian theory.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
