Publisher's Synopsis
New Ideas on Population: With Remarks on the Theories of Malthus and Godwin is a book written by Alexander Hill Everett and published in 1823. The book explores various ideas on population growth and control, and provides critical remarks on the theories of two prominent thinkers of the time, Thomas Malthus and William Godwin.Everett argues that population growth is not necessarily a problem, and that there are various factors that can affect it, including economic development, social policies, and technological innovations. He also challenges Malthus' theory that population growth will inevitably lead to famine and poverty, and suggests that there are ways to prevent such outcomes.In addition, Everett critiques Godwin's belief that population growth can be controlled through moral and intellectual improvement, and argues that this approach is unrealistic and impractical. Instead, he proposes a more pragmatic approach to population control, which takes into account the various social and economic factors that influence population growth.Overall, New Ideas on Population provides a nuanced and thoughtful analysis of population growth and control, and offers a valuable contribution to the ongoing debate on this important topic.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
