Book Description

Written in response to the Malthusian and Godwinian views of population growth that dominated the early 19th century, this book presents a different approach to understanding and addressing population issues. Drawing on scientific and statistical data, as well as historical examples from around the world, the author argues that overpopulation is not inevitable or necessarily harmful, and that there are viable solutions to the problems it poses. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of population theory and its relevance to contemporary debates.
