POVERTY AND POPULATION CONCEPT OF THOMAS R. MALTHUS AND KARL MARX

Öz

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.

THOMAS R. MALTHUS’UN VE KARL MARX’IN YOKSULLUK VE NÜFUS KAVRAMLAŞTIRMASI

Öz

En iyi bilinen nüfus teorisi, Malthus’un nüfus teorisidir. İngiltere’nin hızla artan nüfusu, yanlış yönlendirilmiş bir Yoksul Yasası ile teşvik edilmiş ve bu Malthus’u çok derinden rahatsız etmiştir. 1798 yılında Malthus, “Nüfus İlkesi Üzerine Bir Deneme” adlı çalışmasında nüfus artışı ve gıda üretimi arasındaki ilişkiyi incelemiştir. Malthus’un nüfus teorisi birçok insan tarafından desteklenmiştir ancak 19. yüzyıl sosyoloğu Karl Marx yoksulluk ve açlığın nüfus artışının değil kapitalist ekonominin bir sonucu olduğunu iddia etmiştir. Ayrıca zenginliğin adil bir şekilde dağıtılmasıyla, gıda kaynaklarının nüfus artışına ayak uyduracağını savunmuştur.
