The Macroeconomics of Malthus (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

The views of Thomas Robert Malthus on population and microeconomics continue to be debated. There is also a widely held view that his macroeconomics lacks coherence. This book challenges this by presenting textual evidence that Malthus' macroeconomics constitutes a significant system of thought with considerable academic merit.

Rezensionen

"Pullen provides a deep dive into Malthus's writing and takes readers step by step through various topics central to modern macroeconomics. This is the book's great strength and makes the text particularly appealing to historians of economic thought."
