Theory of Population
Kyle Namvary
the theory of population
1.) By the law of our nature which makes food necessary to the life of man, escape from the weight of this law which pervades all animated nature.
2.) Malthus argued that man is incapable of ignoring the consequences of uncontrolled population growth, and would intentionally avoid contributing to it. According to Malthus, a positive check is any event or circumstance that shortens the human life span. The primary examples of this are war, plague and famine.
3.) Population and Food Supply
4.) Malthus argued that two types of checks hold population within resource limits: positive checks, which raise the death rate; and preventive ones, which lower the birth rate. The positive checks include hunger, disease and war; the preventive checks: birth control, postponement of marriage and celibacy.
5.) In short, as he put it, the power of population growth is greater than the power of the earth to produce the means of subsistence. Was he right? Yes and no. No, if only because no one thing in the complex real-world can have such singular explanatory power.
