Condición: Hervorragend. Zustand: Hervorragend | Seiten: 292 | Sprache: Englisch | Produktart: Bücher | Around 1796, Mr. Malthus, an English gentleman, had finished reading a book that confidently predicted human life would continue to grow richer, more comfortable and more secure, and that nothing could stop the march of progress. He discussed this theme with his son, Thomas, and Thomas ardently disagreed with both his father and the book he had been reading, along with the entire idea of unending human progress. Mr. Malthus suggested that he write down his objections so that they could discuss them point-by-point. Not long after, Thomas returned with a rather long essay. His father read it and was so impressed that he urged his son to have it published. And so, in 1798, Thomas Malthus' An Essay on Population appeared. Though it was attacked at the time and ridiculed for many years afterward, it has remained one of the most influential works in the English language on the general checks and balances of the world's population and its necessary control.Volume 2 includes: Book III: "Of the Different Systems, Which Have Been Proposed or Have Prevailed in Society, As They Affect the Evils Arising from The Principle of Population."

More than a mere translation --- Scarce first Russian edition of a major landmark of economic literature, the Essay on the Principle of Population, first published in English in 1798. With much added material. The translator, P. A. Bibikov, was a historian, philosopher and literary critic, who had already translated Smith's Wealth of Nations in 1866. With this background, he added a wealth of material to this edition, making it more than just a translation, but also an a posteriori analysis. Next to the 80 pages on Malthus' life and works, Bibikov added in a rich appendix translations of foreign commentators, as well as his own footnotes relating to Russia. Very interestingly, he updated and commented the many pages Malthus had already devoted to the Russian case. The appendix includes texts by Townsend, Garnier, Chernyshevskiy and Prudhon, as well as a convenient 20-pp. alphabetical index. "The central idea of the essay - and hub of the Malthusian theory - was a simple one. 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. Malthus recognises two other possible checks to population expansion: first 'vice' - that is, homosexuality, prostitution, and abortion (all totally unacceptable to Malthus); and second 'moral restraint' - the voluntary limitation of the product of children by the postponement of marriage." (PMM). Provenance: Unidentified symbolistic booklabel to upper endpapers; small Baltic bookseller's stamps to lower endpapers.
