Produktbeschreibung

One of the most influential books on economics ever written, Malthus' work remains one of the most controversial, too. Arguing that unchecked population growth will eventually outstrip food availability and lead to famine and disease, this 1798 work inspired naturalists Darwin and Wallace to develop the theory of natural selection.
