Download or read book Beyond Malthus written by Lester R. Brown and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-04-08 with total page 169 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On the bicentennial of Malthus' legendary essay on the tendency of population to grow more rapidly than the food supply, this book examines the impacts of population growth on 19 global resources and services, including food, fresh water, fisheries, jobs, education, income and health. Despite current hype of a 'birth dearth' in parts of Europe and Japan, the fact remains that human numbers are projected to increase by over 3 billion by 2050. Populations in rapidly growing nations are in danger of outstripping the carrying capacity of their natural support systems and governments in such situations will find it increasingly hard to respond to crises such as AIDS, food and water shortages and mass unemployment. Beyond Malthus examines methods such as the expansion of international family planning, investment in educating young people in the developing world and promotion of a shift towards smaller families which will represent the most humane response to the possible ravages of the population explosion.
Download or read book The Malthusian Controversy written by Kenneth Smith and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-11-05 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book, first published in 1951, focuses on the hitherto ignored contemporary critics of Malthus, giving them the attention they so rightly deserve. Dr Smith traces the Malthusian controversy step by step, from 1798, the date of the First Essay, to the death of Malthus in 1834. Investigating the precursors of Malthus and the genesis of the Malthusian Theory of Population, the book subjects the theory to a searching analysis in the light of not only contemporary criticism, but also subsequent developments and modern ideas. In addition, the book examines the application of the theory to the doctrine of perfectibility, to wages, to the poor laws, to emigration, and to the birth control movement. Fully annotated and written in an easy style, this work is indispensable to serious students of both population problems and the development of economic thought. Broad in scope, The Malthusian Controversy presents a new perspective on the most urgent of modern issues, the problem of world population.
Download or read book Urbanisation and Inequalities in a Post Malthusian Context written by Sylvia Szabo and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-12-15 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book examines contemporary urban challenges and opportunities within the context of the traditional Malthusian theory. The book reorients the classic Malthusian debate on population and food by focusing on global urbanisation and its consequences for peoples’ access to basic means of subsistence. Case studies from both developing and developed countries provide a comprehensive overview of the issues related to availability of food and water in an urban context. The book suggests that the concern for human survival is still relevant and can be exacerbated by rapid urbanisation, and that the negative impacts of urban processes require an increased attention of the international community as we enter the new Sustainable Development Goals era.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: English economist and professor Thomas R. Malthus (1766-1834) caused great public controversy among the optimistic positivitists of his day when his Essay on the Principle of Population (1798) showed incontrovertibly that population, when unchecked, tends to increase faster than the availability of subsistence. Therefore preventive checks on population increase are necessary. Malthus, whose work influenced the research of Charles Darwin, admitted he was pessimistic about the future of humankind. He argued, through mathematical proofs and scientific documentation, that without population control the societal result is overcrowding, disease, war, poverty, and vice.

This book was released on 2018-06-27 with total page 492 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An essay on the principle of population by Thomas Malthus Thomas Robert Malthus 13 February 1766 - 23 December 1834) was an English cleric and scholar, influential in the fields of political economy and demography.[2] Malthus himself used only his middle name, Robert. In his 1798 book An Essay on the Principle of Population, Malthus observed that an increase in a nation's food production improved the well-being of the populace, but the improvement was temporary because it led to population growth, which in turn restored the original per capita production level. In other words, mankind had a propensity to utilize abundance for population growth rather than for maintaining a high standard of living, a view that has become known as the "Malthusian trap" or the "Malthusian spectre."

Download or read book Malthusian Worlds written by Ronald Walter Greene and published by Westview Press. This book was released on 1999-07-15 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Malthusian Worlds pulls together insights from cultural studies, rhetoric and continental theory to explore the art of government. Ronald Walter Greene makes three interlocking arguments. First, the process of being "modern" requires the ability to govern one's reproductive behavior - what Greene calls the Malthusian Modern. Second, US leadership in governing the population crisis between the years 1945 and 1975 was made possible by the emergence of a governing apparatus dedicated to policing demographic variables. This governing apparatus, the population apparatus, enlisted US leadership by offering specific problems, forms of knowledge, institutions and proposals for meeting both domestic and international objectives in and through the regulation of demographic dynamics. Third, the population apparatus works on a global scale pulling together local and national populations into its governing rationality building the spatial contours of how we imagine the world. Greene concludes the book by discussing how the population apparatus is being re-built and US leadership re-defined by an alliance between neo-liberal and cultural forms of Malthusian reasoning. He documents the re-configuration of the Malthusian modern by investigating the rise of sustainable development, the feminist challenges to the population apparatus, the desire to contain human migrations, and the changes in US welfare policy during the 1990s.
