where can i find a claer and breif explanation of malthusian theory?

Question

please help the searches on the net keep givivng me real indepth info that i dont have time to go over

Answer 1

The first web site is what Malthus wrote on population. This is the original text

http://www.ac.wwu.edu/~stephan/malthus/m s

The second is a biography on his life

http://www.blupete.com/Literature/Biographies/Philosophy/Malthus.htm

This is a web site more on the mathematical modeling
http://www.stolaf.edu/people/mckelvey/envision.dir/malthus.html

Malthus proposed that population grows geometrically (2,4,8,16,32) put food production grows arithmetically (1,2,3,4,5,6). To put it simply he believed that the human race was doomed to poverty and war. As the population out strips the food supply, humans will start wars and die of starvation and disease until the population comes back in line with the food supply.

I hope that this helped you out a little.

Answer 2

Everthing in life takes time and effort.

If you are not willing to invest in this then perhaps you best reconsider why you are here or even if you should be!
