Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book challenges Malthusian theory, arguing that human fecundity decreases with increased comfort. The author's perspective is unique, as he asserts that the idea of overpopulation is misplaced, and that instead, resources have increased in a geometric progression throughout human history. Tracing the Malthusian theory from its source, the book contends that large families have historically been a driving force for human progress, innovation, and abundance. Pointing to the fact that an increase in population can lead to division of labor, specialization, and opportunities for those with a brain for industry, the author discusses the idea that a surplus of population has always led to increased human resourcefulness and an improved standard of living. The book concludes with the idea that human overcrowding is a result of factors other than population, such as poor planning and a lack of providence, and that unchecked population growth can lead to positive outcomes.
