British political economist Thomas Robert Malthus FRS (; 13/14 February 1766 – 23 December 1834)[1] was an English cleric, scholar and influential economist in the fields of political economy and demography.[2] Malthus saw population growth as being inevitable whenever conditions improved, thereby precluding real progress towards a utopian society: "The power of population is indefinitely greater than the power in the earth to produce subsistence for man".[4] As an Anglican cleric, he saw this situation as divinely imposed to teach virtuous behaviour.[5] Malthus wrote that "the increase of population is necessarily limited by the means of subsistence"; "population does invariably increase when the means of subsistence increase"; and "the superior power of population is repressed by moral restraint, vice and misery".[6] Early life and education[edit] Population growth[edit]
