Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a treatise on the principle of population, a core concept in economics and demography. The author argues that population growth is an inherent tendency of all life, but that it is kept in check by various factors, which he categorizes as preventive and positive checks. Preventive checks include moral restraint, such as the postponement of marriage or abstinence, while positive checks include factors that increase mortality, such as famine, disease, and war. The author contends that the preventive check is the least harmful and most desirable way to control population growth, as it does not involve the suffering and misery associated with the positive checks. He also discusses the historical and social context of population growth, examining different cultures and time periods to illustrate how the principle of population has played out in practice. Ultimately, this book provides a comprehensive and thought-provoking analysis of the complex relationship between population growth and human well-being.
