Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into a fundamental question that has perplexed thinkers for centuries: why is there so much poverty and suffering in the world, despite humanity's capacity for progress? The author argues that the root cause lies in the inherent tendency of population to grow faster than the means of subsistence, a principle that has driven social and economic development throughout history. The book explores this principle in detail, examining historical examples from various cultures and societies, demonstrating how population growth, unchecked by natural constraints or conscious choices, leads to widespread poverty, disease, and other forms of hardship. The author presents a sophisticated analysis of the various checks that naturally regulate population, including moral restraint (avoiding marriage and early parenthood), vice (promiscuity and other forms of immoral behavior), and misery (famine, disease, and other hardships). The book investigates how these checks operate across different stages of civilization, and explores the consequences of various societal systems, including systems of equality, poor laws, agricultural and commercial practices, on the problem of population growth. The book's insights are particularly relevant given the widespread concern over poverty and inequality in the world today. The author's careful examination of the complex relationship between population growth and the availability of resources provides a powerful framework for understanding the challenges facing humanity and for considering potential solutions.
