Moheau is considered to be one of the founders of the science of demographics. He was the first to address the issue of differential mortality according to social layers. 'Of the 18th century French writers on population none was more competent and judicious than M. Moheau. He was a populationist in that he believed the fiscal, military, political, and economic resources and power of the state to be proportionate to its population. Moheau admitted that population growth was conditioned by the supply of subsistence, but denied that it was thereby determined. Most of the physical checks to the population growth, and all the political, civil, and moral checks, were independent of the supply of subsistence. In general, he believed that population tended to grow most rapidly where the bulk of the population enjoyed simple comfort, not where men were poverty-stricken, or where they were opulent and addicted to luxury. Specifically, he said that men tended to marry and multiply most, and infant mortality tended to be lowest, where men could easily obtain 'through ownership of the soil or through labor' the 'things necessary to life.' Accordingly, he emphasized, though in a lesser measure than Cantillon, the role of proprietors and employers in respect to population growth.' Spengler, French predecessors of Malthus, pp. 100-101]. 'This when published was certainly the best work that had appeared on the population of any country.' (McCulloch, Literature of political economy. 264) Kress B.135. Goldsmiths 11690. Mattioli 2450. INED 3221. Not in Sraffa.
