Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book from the early 20th century takes aim at Malthusian teachings and neo-Malthusian practices, arguing that they are based on false premises. Examining the social concerns of the time, this book explores the idea that overpopulation is the root of society's problems and disputes the claim that a high birth rate causes a high death rate. The author posits that poverty is one of the causes of a high birth rate, not the result of it, and that reducing the birth rate through artificial means will only exacerbate the situation. The author delves into the history of civilizations and identifies both physical and moral catastrophes as the true threats to a society's well-being and argues that a low birth rate can actually make a country more vulnerable to these threats. This thought-provoking book challenges the idea that birth control is a solution to the world's problems and asserts that poverty and disease should instead be addressed through social reform and economic justice.
