By H S Pomeroy

Book Overview

""Is Man Too Prolific? The So-Called Malthusian Idea"" is a book written by Hiram Sterling Pomeroy and first published in 1892. The book is a critical analysis of the Malthusian theory, which suggests that population growth will outstrip resources and lead to widespread poverty and famine. Pomeroy argues that this theory is flawed, and that human ingenuity and technological advancements will always find ways to overcome resource scarcity. He also critiques the pessimistic outlook of Malthusianism, arguing that it ignores the potential for human progress and the ability of societies to adapt to changing circumstances. Overall, the book offers a thought-provoking perspective on one of the most enduring debates in the field of population studies.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
