Publisher's Synopsis

The True Law of Population is a book written by Thomas Doubleday in 1853. The book discusses the relationship between population growth and the availability of food. Doubleday argues that population growth is directly linked to the food supply and that, in order to control population growth, it is necessary to address the issue of food production and distribution. He also discusses the idea of Malthusianism, which argues that population growth will inevitably outstrip the food supply, leading to famine and other social problems. Doubleday challenges this idea, suggesting that with proper management of resources and technology, it is possible to sustain a growing population without causing widespread hunger and poverty. The book is an important contribution to the field of population studies and remains relevant today as the world continues to grapple with issues of food security and population growth.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
