The best known population theory is Malthus’ population theory. The rapidly
growing population of England was encouraged by a misguided Poor Law, which
made Malthus very deeply disturbed. In 1798, Malthus examined the relationship
between population growth and food production in “An Essay on Population
Policy”. Malthus’ population theory was supported by many people, but the 19th
century sociologist Karl Marx claimed that poverty and hunger were not the
result of population growth, but a result of the capitalist economy. He also argued
that with a fair distribution of wealth, food resources would keep pace with
population growth.
