Burgundy Moroccan leather spine label. Clean unmarked pages. Marginal browning to pages. Internally very good. The first English edition was printed by John Murray in 1820 this is the 1st American edition printed in 1821 in Boston.J.M. 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 . the world would be a much wiser and richer place" ODNB. The last chapter of the book was devoted to rebutting Say's law and argued that the economy could stagnate with a lack of "effectual demand". In other words wages if less than the total costs of production cannot purchase the total output of industry causing prices to fall; price falls decrease incentives to invest creating a downward spiral.

Near contemporary pencilled shelf number "D198" of Lord Dunraven of Adare Manor Co. Limerick on endpaper. KRESS B5219 This is edition incorporates the substantial revisions and additions which Malthus had made for his third edition of 1806. They are listed and described in full in his preliminary 'Advertisement' to that edition also printed here. The most substantial of the changes made was that "The chapters which were the fourth and sixth of the second book are nearly rewritten on account of an error into which the author had fallen in an attempt to estimate the fruitfulness of marriages and the number born living to be married from the data in registers" 'Advertisement'. Furthermore he added as an appendix here vol.2 p.429-484 his important Reply to the Chief Objections to the second edition of 1803. This appendix he had also published separately in quarto "for the accomodation of the purchasers of the former edition" 'Advertisement'.Malthus recommends that "those who have not the leisure or inclination to read the entire work will find in the appendix such notice of its most prominent arguments as will give them a good general idea of the aim and bent of the whole". In it he writes "My object is to correct some of the misrepresentations which have gone abroad respecting two or three of the most important points of the Essay. . The first grand objection that has been made to my principles is that they contradict the original command of the Creator to increase and multiply and replenish the earth . The next grand objection which has been urged against me is my denial of the right of the poor to support. . and lastly and rather a matter of feeling than of argument. Many persons have accused him of excessive pessimism in throwing a darker shade over our views of human nature and tending particularly to narrow our prospects of future improvement". All of these objections he attempts to refute. From the library of Edwin R. W. Wyndham-Quin Viscount Adare F.R.S. of Adare Manor Co. Limerick. Printed for J. Johnson .. by T. Bensley hardcover

1836Best.-Nr. ELTinMAL26London: William Pickering 1836. 1836. 8vo. pp. liv 1 leaf 446. untrimmed & partly unopened in original cloth spine dull & frayed at ends label chipped. Second Enlarged Edition of Malthus's chief contribution to general economic theory in which he explains in particular his differences with Ricardo. ".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 Richardo recoined the doctrine of the 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."

1820Best.-Nr. 884511London: 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.". First Edition. Contemporary Blue Cloth. Excellent. 8vo. Hardcover
