Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is an in-depth analysis into the connection between increased prosperity and population growth, using the example of England over a 70-year period. The author argues that an absolute increase in national prosperity will invariably be attended with an increase in population, as observed in England's doubling population and quadrupling grain consumption from 1776 to 1841. The book examines how England's prosperity increased faster than its population due to capital growth, shown in the consumption of animal foods and the doubling of cattle and sheep sold at Smithfield Market over the same period. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
