Rev. Thomas Robert Malthus
1826 - John Murray, London - Sixth Edition
A finely bound early edition of this classic text proposing a limit to global human population, an important and influential work on economics. ‘There can be no doubt that [Keynes’] importance for economists today rests mainly on Principles of Political Economy. It was because of the latter work that J. M. Keynes reinstated Malthus as a major figure in modern economic thought’ - (New Palgrave: A Dictionary of Economics).
In his Theory of Economic Analysis, Schumpeter, reviewing ‘Principles of Political Economy’, and Malthus’ presentation of the theory of demand and supply, comes to the conclusion that Malthus should ‘stand in the history of analysis not only as the author of a valid alternative to Ricardo's theory but as the sponsor (or rather as one of the sponsors) of the victorious one.’
‘If only Malthus, instead of Ricardo, had been the parent stem from which nineteenth-century economics proceeded, what a much wiser and richer place the world would be today’ - J. M. Keynes.
