Thomas Malthus

Malthus himself was pretty well-fed.

Thomas Malthus (13/14 February 1766 – 23 December 1834) was an English economist who singlehandedly put the demon into demography. Uncyclopedia has a couple of mentions of this revolutionary mind:

• One about his plan to eliminate poverty in the first world by shipping all The Poor to the third.
• And another about his iron law that, since population was increasing geometrically while food production was increasing arithmetically, there would come a day when population would outstrip food and no one would get any.

If you know anything more about him, including why his birth took two days, you can write an article too.

This is a disambiguation page — words should always mean more than one thing, and we're working hard to ensure that each word you look up refers to at least two completely unrelated articles. If an article link referred you here, you should make it to point directly to the article where you think the confused link-maker thought it would point, or go nuts and pick one at random. Just make sure it doesn't point here.
