NOTES ON MALTHUS'S PRINCIPLES OF POLITICAL ECONOMY VOL 2

David Ricardo and T. R. Malthus shared an endearing friendship despite a contentious divergence of opinion on many political economic issues. This volume contains the formal remnants of their differences. Ricardo analyzes, issue-by-issue, his points of divergence to Malthus's Principles of Political Economy. Malthus's contributions to political economics generally concern his bleak forecast that a geometrically growing population would surpass the arithmetically growing capacity of essential natural resources. The entire series includes: Volume 1: On the Principles of Political Economy and Taxation Volume 2: Notes on Malthus’s Principles of Political Economy Volume 3: Pamphlets and Papers 1809-1811 Volume 4: Pamphlets and Papers 1815-1823 Volume 5: Speeches and Evidence Volume 6: Letters 1810-1815 Volume 7: Letters 1816-1818 Volume 8: Letters 1819-1821 Volume 9: Letters 1821-1823 Volume 10: Biographical Miscellany Volume 11: General Index
