John Pullen

The Macroeconomics of Malthus

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

The views of Thomas Robert Malthus on population and microeconomics continue to be debated. There is also a widely held view that his macroeconomics lacks coherence. This book challenges this by presenting textual evidence that Malthus' macroeconomics constitutes a significant system of thought with considerable academic merit.
