The author was an English philosopher and economist who lived in the late 18th century. His work 'An Essay on the Principle of Population' has significantly impacted the understanding of population growth and its relationship to economics and societal development. Malthus argued that population growth tends to outpace the available resources for subsistence, leading to a constant struggle for survival and widespread misery. He believed that this disparity between population growth and resource availability is a fundamental obstacle to achieving lasting human progress. The book explores the complex dynamics of population, resource availability, and societal well-being, offering insights that continue to inform discussions on environmental sustainability, economic development, and social inequality.
