Title: | Malthus, Thomas Robert (1766–1834) | Contributor(s): | Pullen, John Michael (author) | Publication Date: | 2008 | DOI: | 10.1057/978-1-349-95121-5_1147-2 | Handle Link: | https://hdl.handle.net/1959.11/6170 | Abstract: | A brief biographical sketch precedes a discussion of important methodological features of Malthus's work, especially his 'doctrine of proportions' and the need for moderation and balance in economic principles and policies. His principle of laissez-faire admitted exceptions; and, although his principle of population warned of over-population, he acknowledged the potential advantages of population growth. His ideas on the Poor Laws, the Corn Laws, Say's Law, and the relation between saving and investment are discussed; and the roles given to effective demand and to distribution as a factor of production, especially the distribution of landed property, are emphasized. | Publication Type: | Book Chapter | Source of Publication: | The New Palgrave Dictionary of Economics, p. 1-10 | Publisher: | Palgrave Macmillan | Place of Publication: | Basingstoke, United Kingdom | ISBN: | 9780333372357 0935859101 9780935859102 9780333786765 9780333740408 |
