Description

Thomas Robert Malthus (1766-1834) remains one of history's most influential yet widely misunderstood thinkers. His Essay on Population is frequently cited but rarely read in full, leaving gaps in understanding his actual ideas. This comprehensive book by Petersen provides an accurate exposition of Malthus' complete thought, bridging his famous population theory with his underexplored analysis of economic development and social structure. Rather than perpetuating common misconceptions, this work enables both general readers and social scientists to grasp Malthus' original arguments and compare them fairly against competing economic and demographic theories. Ideal for anyone seeking to understand the intellectual foundations of modern demography and the real Malthus behind the myths.

Key Features

Malthus: Founder of Modern Demography integrates population theory with economic development analysis, presenting Malthus' complete intellectual framework.

Published by Routledge, this historical biography serves social scientists and general readers seeking rigorous analysis.

The book provides comparative context for understanding Malthus against competing theories in demography and economics.

Comprehensive coverage explores Malthus' often-neglected work on social structure alongside his better-known population principles.
