In very good condition. Ownership inscription from the African Society and stamp to the title page. Rare in the original boards. There can be no doubt that Malthus’ importance for economists today rests mainly on his Principles of Political Economy. It was because of this latter work that J. M. Keynes 1933 reinstated Malthus as a major figure in modern economic thought" New Palgrave. "In his 'Principles of Political Economy' Malthus was proposing investment in public work and private luxury as a means of increasing effective demand and hence as a palliative to economic distress. The nation he thought must balance the power to produce and the will to consume" DSB. "The Principles had only a limited impact at the time and was severely criticized by J. R. McCulloch and Ricardo; the latter prepared extensive critical notes. But 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. John Murray hardcover
1798ref. 116955London: J. Johnson 1798. First edition of this cornerstone text of modern economics. Octavo bound in three quarters calf. Laid in is a clipping from an original manuscript signed by Malthus and entirely in his hand which reads in part "If at one time such a given product would make an effectual demand for certain commodities the conditions of the supply of which are supposed to remain the same it would immediately cease to make such effectual." Signed by Malthus in the lower right corner "Malthus." The verso features two further partial lines of text relating to supply and demand. In near fine condition. First editions of Malthus' magnum opus are exceptionally scarce. “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.

1817ref. 172742London: 1817. Second edition of Malthus's defence of the East-India Company's College at Haileybury his home from 1805-1834 offprinted from The Pamphleteer Vol. IX number XVIII and published the same year as the first. Malthus taught as professor of history and political economy at the East India Company College at Haileybury from its inception to his own death training generations of EIC management. By 1816 the College was attracting criticism both for its virtual monopoly on Indian Civil Service training and for the actual quality of its teaching. A series of student disturbances throughout 1816 provided the immediate occasion for Malthus's defence which outlines a thorough analysis of the College's work as the best solution to the immediate demands of the Indian subcontinent. Octavo. Pp. 469-523 1. Disbound. Light browning and foxing to contents: a very good copy. unknown
