Extract

Nearly two hundred years have elapsed since Robert Malthus published (anonymously) his first ‘Essay on the Principle of Population as it Affects the Future Improvement of Society …’. Population, he argued, will always grow faster than the means to sustain it, unless constraints to its growth arise naturally or are imposed artificially.
