Demi-veau brun dos ornés de fleurons à froid et roulettes dorées pièces de titre et de tomaison tranches jaunes mouchetées reliure légèrement postérieure. . Édition originale de la traduction française. . Au début des années 1790 le philosophe anglais William Godwin expose un « principe de population ». Réagissant principalement à la thèse alors développée par Godwin Malthus fait alors paraître la première édition de son Essai sur le principe de population un pamphlet qui paraît - anonymement - en 1798. Il y substitue en 1803 ce qui se veut un traité plus scientifique dans lequel il se réfère aussi à quatre autres sources importantes : Of the Populousness of Ancient Nations de David Hume A Dissertation on the Numbers of Mankind de Robert Wallace Observations on Reversionary Payments de Richard Price et An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations d'Adam Smith. Deux ans après cette parution l'Essai fait l'objet d'une traduction partielle par le Suisse Pierre Prévost qui fut professeur de physique et de philosophie à l'Université de Genève. Certains chapitres sont intégralement traduits tandis que d'autres ne le sont que partiellement. Prévost accompagne sa traduction de notes et commentaires personnels ; encouragé par Malthus il fait paraître en 1809 à Paris et à Genève cette nouvelle édition la première complète donnée d'après la dernière établie par Malthus en 1807 la quatrième édition anglaise. « Malthus m'a même autorisé en conséquence à y faire les changements que j'estimerais nécessaires. Je n'ai pas abusé de cette permission. Je me suis prescrit au contraire de faire connaître l'ouvrage de M. Malthus tel qu'il l'a lui-même publié. L'appendice est la seule partie où j'ai fait des retranchements et quelques modifications sans les indiquer en détail ; parce que les objections que l'auteur y discute m'ont paru quelquefois trop faibles ou trop particulières pour mériter d'être exposées et réfutées dans une traduction avec autant d'étendue qu'elles le sont dans l'original. Mais j'ai supprimé certains morceaux et même des chapitres entiers qui s'écartent un peu du sujet principal ou qui sont trop immédiatement relatifs à l'Angleterre. » « L'Essai du révérend Malthus causa en 1798 un véritable choc idéologique dans une Angleterre en crise traumatisée par la Révolution française. Ce texte contient la première formulation - inchangée dans les cinq éditions suivantes - du principe de population. Avancée fondamentale ce principe affirme que les vitesses de croissance de la population et des subsistances sont très différents la première augmentant plus rapidement que la seconde .» INED préface à l'édition critique de 2017. Son analyse des crises de surproduction l'oppose à Jean-Baptiste Say et en fait un précurseur de Keynes - par l'accent qu'il met sur l'insuffisance de la demande - ce dernier soulignant qu'il est « le premier des économistes de Cambridge ».

The first edition of An Essay on the Principle of Population as It Affects the Future Improvement of Society was published anonymously by Malthus in 1798 as a pamphlet. The book received wide attention for Malthus's argument that hopes for human happiness are in vain because population will outrun the growth of production. He believed that the human population would continue to grow unchecked resulting in long term human poverty now known as the Malthusian Law of Population. Until this point fertility was viewed as a national imperative and a path to continued economic improvement. This work by Malthus changed the national mindset in Great Britain about childbearing. This work first appeared in book form in 1803 with this copy being the third edition published in 1806. J. Johnson, in St. Paul's Church-Yard unknown books

Contemporary gilt-ruled half-calf marbled paper boards contrasting green and tan calf lettering-pieces marbled edges. Lightly rubbed corners exposed. Hinges exposed later inked ownership inscription of Arthur Johnson to recto of front blank fly-leaf of Vol. I very occasional light spotting. The fourth edition greatly extended from the anonymous first of 1798 of this cornerstone of early studies of demography and an influential work in the history of political economy. Contrary to the prevailing Whig theory of history English cleric and scholar Thomas Robert Malthus 1766-1834 argued that the agricultural output of modern Britain would not be able to support the rapid population growth witnessed in the eighteenth-century and thus that society would return to earlier subsistence levels following catastrophic outbreaks of disease and famine. The second edition of 1803 was substantially revised and extended to include observations made from European data and most notably the recognition that human agency and especially moral restraint could alleviate the plight of the poorest elements of society. The third edition of 1806 added an appendix in which Malthus replied to his many contemporary critics. This fourth edition incorporates all of the previous revisions and additions.

Keynes "argued that Malthus's theory of effective demand provided a scientific explanation of unemployment and that the hundred-year domination of Ricardo over Malthus had been a disaster for the progress of economics. Keynes believed that if economics had followed Malthus . the world would be a much wiser and richer place" ODNB. The last chapter of the book was devoted to rebutting Say's law and argued that the economy could stagnate with a lack of "effectual demand". In other words wages if less than the total costs of production cannot purchase the total output of industry causing prices to fall; price falls decrease incentives to invest creating a downward spiral.
