Is Man Too Prolific? The So-Called Malthusian Idea (1892)

By H S Pomeroy

Book Overview

""Is Man Too Prolific? The So-Called Malthusian Idea"" is a book written by Hiram Sterling Pomeroy in 1892. The book is a critique of the Malthusian idea, which suggests that population growth will eventually outstrip the planet's resources, leading to famine and other catastrophes. Pomeroy argues that this idea is flawed and that humans are not inherently too prolific. He examines the factors that contribute to population growth, including economic development, education, and technology. Pomeroy also discusses the social and political implications of the Malthusian idea, including its influence on policies related to birth control and immigration. The book is an important contribution to the debate about population growth and its impact on society, and it remains relevant today as the world continues to grapple with issues related to sustainability and resource depletion.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
