Autorenporträt
Thomas Robert Malthus, born on February 13, 1766, in Surrey, England, and deceased on December 29, 1834, was an influential British economist and demographer. Malthus is best known for his seminal work 'An Essay on the Principle of Population,' first published anonymously in 1798. In it, he articulated the controversial Malthusian theory of population growth, postulating that population increases geometrically, while food production can only grow arithmetically. Malthus argued that this imbalance would lead to inevitable starvation and poverty unless controlled by factors such as famine, disease, or moral restraint. His ideas have profoundly impacted the fields of political economy and demography, shaping debates around sustainability and resource scarcity. Although criticized for his pessimistic outlook and the limitations of his theory, his concepts of carrying capacity and the checks on population growth remain influential in ecological and economic thinking. Malthus' work, notably his essay, has been variously interpreted and applied across disciplines, ensuring his enduring legacy within social science literature (Winch, 1996).
