‎London: John Murray 1820. First edition 8vo vi 601 1 pp. Contemporary black half calf a little rubbed covers very slightly damp stained and bowed gilt spine and red label. "The Principles had only a limited impact at the time. more recently it has received greater recognition largely as a result of the comments by J. M. Keynes in the 1930s. Keynes argued that Malthus's theory of effective demand provided a scientific explanation of unemployment and that the hundred-year domination of Ricardo over Malthus had been a disaster for the progress of economics. Keynes believed that if economics had followed Malthus instead of being constrained by Ricardo in an artificial groove the world would be a much wiser and richer place." ODNB. Goldsmiths 22767.

‎Principles of Political Economy‎

‎London: 1820. Some light foxing to the title page otherwise a superior copy in the original papercovered boards with paper spine label. Malthus' Principles of Political Economy did not have its full impact on economic theory until it was revived by J.M. Keynes and P. Sraffa in the twentieth century. Math and technology aside Malthus argues not that society tends toward cannibalistic starvation but that either society will "preventatively" control its population or nature will "correctively" reduce population"Several philosophers and speculatists had supposed that a certain state of society very different from any that has hitherto existed was in itself practicable; and that if it were realised it would be productive of a far greater degree of human happiness than is compatible with the present institutions of society."21 Malthus' argument as stated by Hazlitt is that if man were to give up his existing social institutions then there would be as much bad as good come of it. "For says Mr Malthus though this improved state of society were actually realized it could not possibly continue but must soon terminate in a state of things pregnant with evils for more insupportable than any we at present endure.".

Many of his theories have now been largely rejected but "the Essay was highly influential in the progress of thought in early nineteenth-century Europe" and "his influence on social policy whether for good or evil was considerable."

Quarto bound in full diced morocco raised bands gilt titles and tooling to the spine front and rear panels marbled endpapers. In very good condition. An exceptional presentation. “Malthus was one of the founders of modern economics. His Essay was originally the product of a discussion on the perfectibility of society with his father who urged him to publish. Thus the first edition published anonymously was essentially a fighting tract but later editions were considerably altered and grew bulkier as Malthus defended his views against a host of critics… The Essay was highly influential in the progress of thought in early 19th-century Europe and his influence on social policy was considerable… Both Darwin and Wallace clearly acknowledged Malthus as a source of the idea of ‘the struggle for existence†PMM 251.

Malthus came to prominence for his publication of the present work first published in 1798. Between 1798 and 1826 Malthus published six versions of the essay updating each edition to incorporate new material to address criticism and to convey changes in his own perspectives on the subject. Writing in response to Jean-Jacques Rousseau and William Godwin specifically their approaches to the improvement of society Malthus opposed the optimistic view in 18th-century Europe that saw society as improving and in principle as perfectible. Malthus saw population growth as inevitable whenever conditions improved thereby precluding real progress towards a utopian society: "The power of population is indefinitely greater than the power in the earth to produce subsistence for man." Malthus laid the "theoretical foundation of the conventional wisdom that has dominated the debate both scientifically and ideologically on global hunger and famines for almost two centuries" Daoud. He remains a much-debated writer.<br/> <br/> Shaw 17975; Daoud Ade "Robbins and Malthus on scarcity abundance and sufficiency: The missing sociocultural element" in American Journal of Economics and Sociology 69.4: 1206-1229; Harvey David "Population Resources and the Ideology of Science"in Economic Geography 503: 256277.

‎London T. Bensley for J. Johnson 1803. . Second edition substantially revised; 4to 27.5 x 22 cm; a few pencil annotations C4 cancelled and signed C3 title neatly tipped on to following leaf small chip lower edge b2 occasional spotting; modern half brown morocco gilt spine in 6 compartments contrasting red morocco lettering-piece very good; viii 4 610pp.<br /> The second edition substantially revised and in essence a 'new work' in which Malthus defends his views against a host of critics Preface.<br /><br />'The central idea of the essay — and the hub of Malthusian theory — was a simple one. The population of a community Malthus suggested increases geometrically while food supplies increased only arithmetically. If the natural increase in population occurs the food supply becomes insufficient and the size of the population is checked by 'misery' — that is the poorest sections of the community suffer disease and famine. The Essay was highly influential in the progress of thought in early nineteenth-century Europe' PMM.<br /><br />In this enlarged edition Malthus made clear what was only implicit in the first that prudential restraint should if humanly possible be 'moral restraint' — that is delayed marriage accompanied by strictly moral pre-marital behaviour although he admitted that moral restraint would not be easy and that there would be occasional failures. Whereas in the first edition he had said that all the checks to population would involve either misery or vice in the second edition he attempted to lighten this 'melancholy hue' first edition p.iv and 'to soften some of the harshest conclusions of the first essay' second edition p.vii by arguing that moral restraint if supported by an education emphasising the immorality of bringing children into the world without the means of supporting them would tend to increase rather than diminish individual happiness.<br /><br />'His work was an important influence on both Darwin and Wallace in their formulation of the concept of natural selection. It also had a profound influence on the decrease in size of families down to the present time' Garrison-Morton.<br /> Cf.PMM 251; Garrison-Morton 1693; Goldsmiths 18640; Kress B.4701. London, T.

‎MALTHUS, Thomas Robert‎

‎An Essay on the Principle of Population;‎

‎London: printed for J. Johnson by T. Bensley 1803. Malthus softens his conclusions The Great Quarto edition notionally the second edition following the first of 1798 but so substantially enlarged rewritten and re-titled as to be effectively a new book. The Essay was one of the most influential works in the history of economic thought arguing the link between food supply and population size and the inevitability of famine and suffering once population exceeded its limits. "For today's readers living in a post-Malthus era the world's population problems are well known and serious but no longer sensational. It is difficult therefore to appreciate the radical and controversial impact made by the Essay at the time of publication. It challenged the conventional notion that population growth is an unmixed blessing. It discussed prostitution contraception and other sexual matters. And it gave vivid descriptions of the horrendous consequences of overpopulation and of the brutal means by which populations are checked" ODNB. In the second edition Malthus "made clear what was only implicit in the first that prudential restraint should if humanly possible be 'moral restraint' - that is delayed marriage accompanied by strictly moral pre-marital behaviour although he admitted that moral restraint would not be easy and that there would be occasional failures. Whereas in the first edition he had said that all the checks to population would involve either misery or vice in the second edition he attempted to lighten this 'melancholy hue' and 'to soften some of the harshest conclusions of the first essay' by arguing that moral restraint if supported by an education emphasizing the immorality of bringing children into the world without the means of supporting them would tend to increase rather than diminish individual happiness" ODNB.
