イギリスの牧師で、その政治経済に対する見解が現代経済の思想に多大な影響を与えてきたトマス=ロバート・マルサス(1766-1834年)。本書はマルサスが自身の見解を綴った時期の背景を考慮に入れ、なぜ彼の書物が重要で、今もなおこれほどに賛否両論を呼ぶものなのかを分析していきます。(cf. An Essay on the Principle of Population (Oxford World's Classics))
  

  • A short introduction to the work of Thomas Robert Malthus, an influential English cleric
  • Clearly explains Malthus's ideas and main theories
  • Assesses the profound influence Malthus has had on modern economic thought
  • Considers the impact he had on later theorists, such as Darwin and Keynes

 
Thomas Robert Malthus (1766-1834) was an English cleric whose ideas, as expounded in his most famous work the Essay on the Principle of Population, caused a storm of controversy. In this Very Short Introduction, Donald Winch explains and clarifies Malthus's ideas, assessing the profound influence he has had on modern economic thought. 
 
Concentrating on his writings, Winch sheds light on the context in which he wrote and why his work has remained controversial. Looking at Malthus's early life as well as the evolution of his theories from population to political economy, Winch considers why and how Malthus's writings have been so influential in the thought of later figures such as Darwin and Keynes.

This accessible and thorough clarification of his ideas is therefore as timely and relevant as ever." - Nicholas J. McMeniman, Australian Commonwealth Government, Political Studies Review
