MALTHUS, THOMAS ROBERT,

An Essay on the Principle of Population; or, a view of its past and present effects on human happiness; with an inquiry into our prospects respecting the future revmoval or mitigation of the evils which occasions.

London, John Murray, 1826. 6. Aufl. 2 Bde. 8vo. XVI, 535; IV, 528 S. Ältere, blaue Leineneinbände mit Rückenschildchen.
¶ Letzte von Malthus besorgte Ausgabe. - Charles Darwin suchte nach der treibenden Kraft hinter der Evolution. Wie kann das Prinzip der Züchtung auf Organismen in ihrem natürlichen Lebensraum angewandt werden? Er fand die Lösung 1838 während der Lektüre von Malthus' „An Essay on the Principle of Population“. Zur Hand hatte Darwin die 1826 erschienene Ausgabe letzter Hand, die 6. Auflage des zuerst 1798 erschienenen Werkes. Darin liest Darwin vom „Kampf ums Dasein“ („struggle for existence“) als Folge sich verknappender Nahrungsmittelvorräte. Nach Malthus' „Bevölkerungsgesetz“ wächst die Bevölkerung geometrisch, während die Nahrungsproduktion im arithmetischen Verhältnis dazu langsamer wachse. Hungersnöte seien die unausweichliche Folge, falls nicht andere Ereignisse und Massnahmen das Bevölkerungswachstum reduziere (Kriege, Hungersnöte, Heiratsverbote, Bildungsoffensive). Malthus tritt in seinem „Essay“ der bis dahin vorherrschenden optimistischen Ansicht entgegen (Godwin, Condorcet), eine wachsende Bevölkerung steigere die ökonomische Leistungsfähigkeit eines Landes. Das Malthussche „Bevölkerungsgesetz“ bestärkte die Öffentlichkeit in einer harten Behandlung der Armen und beeinflusste die Armengesetze der „Royal Commission“ weitreichend. Malthus (1766-1834) gilt mit seinem „Essay“ heute als einer der Väter der modernen Demographie. Er wurde im Jahre 1805 Inhaber des weltweit ersten Lehrstuhles für Politische Ökonomie, der am College der East India Company im englischen Haileybury eingerichtet wurde. Er wurde 1819 Mitglied der Royal Society und 1834 eines der ersten Mitglieder der Statistical Society. Die Kategorie „Struggle for existence“ ist nicht Darwin, sondern Malthus zuzurechnen. Nach Darwin war nicht das Überleben an sich, sondern die Zeugung möglichst vieler überlebens- und fortpflanzungsfähiger Nachkommen Grundlage biologischen Erfolges. Auch Spencer hat die Phrase vom „Kampf ums Dasein“ vermieden und stattdessen vom „Survival of the fittest“ gesprochen, was der Darwinschen Implikation viel näher kommt. Malthus ist mit seinem „Essay“ ein unmittelbarer Vorläufer des „Sozialdarwinismus“.

[Malthus, Thomas Robert]. An Essay on the Principle of Population, as it Affects the Future Improvement of Society, with Remarks On the Speculation of Mr. Godwin, M. Condorcet, and Others. London: J. Johnson, 1798. ix, 396 pp. Reprinted 2007 by The Lawbook Exchange, Ltd. ISBN-13: 9781584777281; ISBN-10: 1584777281. Hardcover. New. $125. * Reprint of the very rare first edition. One of the most influential works on political economy, it had a profound effect on social policy during the nineteenth century, especially on the development of harsher poor laws in Great Britain. (It was the guiding spirit behind the Poor Law Amendment Act of 1834.) The central point of the Essay is that population increases geometrically while food supplies increase arithmetically, which will eventually lead to starvation and disease in the poorest sections of the community. In order to prevent this from happening, he posits, people, especially the poor, should have children later in life and limit the size of their families.

An essay on the principle of population, or, A view of its past and present effects on human happiness. With an inquiry into our prospects respecting the future removal or mitigation of the evils which it occasions

Cambridge Univ Pr, 1992. Paperback. Pp: 392. This volume makes available to a student audience one of the most controversial and misunderstood works published during the last two hundred years. Malthus's Essay on the Principle of Population began life in 1798 as a polite attack on some post-French-revolutionary speculations on the theme of social and human perfectibility. It remains one of the most powerful statements of the limits to human hopes set by the tension between population growth and natural resources. This edition is based on the authoritative variorum of the mature versions of the Essay published over the period 1803 to 1826. The introduction, notes and bibliographic apparatus are aimed specifically at a modern audience interested in how Malthusianism impinges on the history of political thought. ISBN: 9780521429726.
