Thomas Robert Malthus (1766-1834) was a pioneer in demography,
economics and social science more generally whose ideas prompted a
new 'Malthusian' way of thinking about population and the poor. On
the occasion of the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of his
birth, New Perspectives on Malthus offers an up-to-date collection
of interdisciplinary essays from leading Malthus experts who
reassess his work. Part one looks at Malthus's achievements in
historical context, addressing not only perennial questions such as
his attitude to the Poor Laws, but also new topics including his
response to environmental themes and his use of information about
the New World. Part two then looks at the complex reception of his
ideas by writers, scientists, politicians and philanthropists from
the period of his own lifetime to the present day, from Charles
Darwin and H. G. Wells to David Attenborough, Al Gore and Amartya
Sen.
