Synopsis
The world’s population is now 7.4 billion people. As we stand witness to a possible reversal of modernity’s positive trends, Thomas Malthus’s pessimism is worth full reconsideration.
With the first published version of Malthus’s Essay (1798) are selections from the expanded version (1803), which he considered definitive, as well as his Appendix (1806). Accompanying the text is an introduction and explanatory annotations by Joyce E. Chaplin and a rich selection of supporting materials. A chronology and a bibliography are also included.
