	Thomas Robert Malthus (1766-1834).
		Malthus asserted that there was only two things that kept population down: vice and misery, two necessary evils (their agents being war, famine, and disease).
		Incidentally, Malthus, having become a fellow of the College in 1793, was to act at one point as a judge and sentencer of a junior student who had been absent without leave from the College; the young student was Coleridge, having entered the College in 1791.
		Malthus was to write and publish other works for which he is not as well known, as for example, in 1815, there came out, "An Inquiry into the Nature and Progress of Rent," and, in 1820, "Principles of Political Economy." Walter Bagehot was not too much impressed, overall, with Malthus as an economist.

	Thomas Robert Malthus - LoveToKnow 1911
		THOMAS ROBERT MALTHUS (1766-1834), English economist, was born in 1766 at the Rookery, near Guildford, Surrey, a small estate owned by his father, Daniel Malthus, a gentleman of good family and independent fortune, of considerable culture, the friend and correspondent of Rousseau and one of his executors.
		Again, it is surely plain enough that the apprehension by individuals of the evils of poverty, or a sense of duty to their possible offspring, may retard the increase of population, and has in all civilized communities operated to a certain extent in that way.
		Malthus has in more modern times derived a certain degree of reflected lustre from the rise and wide acceptance of the Dar, winian hypothesis.

		Malthus argued that the best means of escaping what has subsequently been called "the Malthusian trap" was for people to adopt the "preventive check" of limiting their fertility by marrying later in life.
		Malthus himself married Harriet Eckersall at the age of 38 (late for the period) in 1804, a year after he became rector of Walesby, Lincolnshire.
		Malthus' predictions proved inaccurate chiefly because he failed to foresee the enormous impact that science and technology was to have in squeezing increasing amounts of food out of each hectare of land.

		Malthus had undoubtedly the great merit of having called public attention in a striking and impressive way to a subject which had neither theoretically nor practically been sufficiently considered.
		Thus Thomas Chalmers "reviews seriatim and gravely sets aside all the schemes usually proposed for the amelioration of the economic condition of the people" on the ground that an increase of comfort will lead to an increase of numbers, and so the last state of things will be worse than the first.

		MALTHUS, THOMAS ROBERT [Malthus, Thomas Robert], 1766-1834, English economist, sociologist, and pioneer in modern population study.
		As checks on population growth, Malthus first accepted only war, famine, and disease, but in his revised work he admitted also the preventive check of "moral restraint." Although his theory caused general controversy, it was later adapted by neo-Malthusians, and its implications influenced classical economists, especially David Ricardo.
		However, unlike Ricardo, Malthus did not agree with Jean Baptiste Say 's law of markets, which held that overproduction and unemployment were impossible since supply creates its own demand.

		Malthus, of course, is best known as the author of a work on the dangers of population growth.
		Malthus thought this would continue until the wage is pushed down to "subsistence." That is, working people would be able to earn only enough to support their families and reproduce themselves, on the average, and no more either for larger families or for other endulgences.
		The problems were expressed in his new concepts of "diminishing returns," "overpopulation" and "unemployment." Malthus claimed those problems would interrupt the virtuous circle, replace it with a vicious circle of population growth, and, ultimately, bring it to a halt in a "stationary state" of general poverty.
