Thomas Robert Malthus FRS (13/14 February 1766 - 23 December 1834) was an English cleric, scholar and influential economist in the fields of political economy and demography.
In other words, humans had a propensity to utilize abundance for population growth rather than for maintaining a high standard of living, a view that has become known as the "Malthusian trap" or the "Malthusian spectre"..
In his 1798 book An Essay on the Principle of Population, Malthus observed that an increase in a nation\'s food production improved the well-being of the populace, but the improvement was temporary because it led to population growth, Which in turn restored the original per capita production level.
