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.
