1820ref. 948P11London: John Murray 1820. First edition. Cloth. Very Good. 9" by 6". None. The first edition of this important economic work by the influential writer Thomas Robert Malthus. The first edition.'Principles of Political Economy' is now regarded as a very influential study on economics in which the author explains the historical economic depression in Europe and why they occur. The work rejects the idea of Say's law and Ricardo's 1817 Principles of Political Economy and Taxation generally. Malthus argued that any rise in wages above the subsistence level would encourage population growth which in turn would drive wages back down to subsistencea dynamic often referred to as the "Malthusian trap." By the economist scholar and cleric Thomas Robert Malthus. He published this work to rival David Ricardo's 1817 work 'Principles of Political Economy and Taxation'."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" DNBVery rarely seen eight pages of adverts to the rear dated April 1820.

First published in 1798 this is the substantially revised enlarged and re-written second edition of Malthus's important work.Malthus's work - which posits that the human population will outgrow the supply of food and resources - fuelled the debate on the size of the British population and contributed to the passion of the Census Act of 1800.A key argument within the book was dedicated to what is now known as the Malthusian Law of Population theorising that growing population rates will lead to a rising supply of labour inevitably lowering wages and leading to poverty.With the armorial bookplate of James Frampton to the front pastedown along side the former owner's ink inscription of N.B.

1820ref. 66825London: John Murray 1820. If Only Malthus Instead of Ricardo Had Been the Parent Stem From Which Nineteenth-Century Economics Proceeded What a Much Wiser and Richer Place the World Would be Today" MALTHUS Thomas Robert. Principles of Political Economy. Considered with a View to Their Practical Application. London: John Murray 1820. First edition. Octavo. vi 12-601602. Original boards uncut. With original paper label on spine. Hinges expertly and almost invisibly repaired. Old bookplate from "The Library of Victoria" with no other library markings. A very clean copy internally fine. Very scarce in original boards. Housed in a custom quarter black morocco clamshell gilt-stamped. First edition of Malthus' principal contribution to economic theory. Schumpeter describes Malthus' work in relation to that of his predecessors Adam Smith and Ricardo as follows: "Ricardo's work.started with the Wealth of Nations and recoined the latter's theoretical contents by a method that centered in the concept of value. Exactly the same thing is evidently true of the work of Malthus.except for his theory of saving and investment which on the face of it seems to be Malthus's own all the elements that enter into the analytic apparatus of that work and even its terminological arrangements point to the First book of the Wealth of Nations. Only whereas Ricardo recoined the doctrine of Wealth by means of the labor-quantity theory of value Malthus recoined it by the means of the theory of value that A. Smith actually used namely the theory of supply and demand.whereas Ricardo's analytic apparatus is geared to the problem of distribution.Malthus. geared his apparatus to the analysis of the whole economic process.Therefore Malthus should.stand in the history of analysis not only as the author of a valid alternative to Ricardo's theory but as the sponsor or rather as one of the sponsors of the victorious one." "Although Malthus is best known for the views on population contained in his Essay on Population.there can be no doubt that his importance for economists today rests mainly on his Principles of Political Economy 1820. It was because of the latter work that J. M. Keynes reinstated Malthus as a major figure in modern economic thought". New Palgrave. Cress C577. HBS 66825. $6500. John Murray unknown
1803ref. 65276London: Printed for J. Johnson.by T. Bensley 1803. The Economics of Population MALTHUS Thomas Robert. An Essay on the Principle of Population; Or a view of its past and present effects on Human Happiness; With an Inquiry into our prospects respecting the future removal or mitigation of the evils which it occasions. A new edition very much enlarged. London: Printed for J. Johnson. by T. Bensley 1803. Second edition enlarged and revised. Quarto. viii 4 610 pp. Contemporary calf skillfully rebacked to style and with corners renewed. Spine decoratively tooled in gilt compartments with burgundy morocco gilt lettering label. Endpapers renewed. Occasional light foxing. Title-page with publisher's diagonal paper flaw crease. Overall very good. A completely revised and greatly expanded edition of the most influential work on population ever written. Malthus published the first edition of his Essay in 1798 and was apparently unprepared for the torrent of controversy that his ideas provoked. His response to the public outcry was to spend the next five years refining and expanding his theories for this second edition so much so that "in its present shape it may be considered a new work and I should probably have published it as such omitting the few parts of the former which I have retained but that I wished it to form a whole of itself and not to need a continual reference to the other." preface Malthus' basic argument--that population increases geometrically at a greater rate than does the means of subsistence which increases arithmetically--was one of the earliest modern economic and social theories and his contention that it would eventually become necessary for society to impose some form of restraint on over-population provided the premise for heated socio-economic debate for almost two centuries.
