Sobre IBD

Esta una obra fundamental del pensamiento económico y social que marcó un antes y un después en la reflexión sobre la pobreza y el progreso humano. En este texto, Thomas Robert Malthus analiza con profundidad la relación entre el crecimiento de la población y los medios de subsistencia, sosteniendo que cuando la población aumenta más rápido que los recursos disponibles, la miseria se vuelve inevitable. Lejos de ser un ataque contra la compasión o el bienestar social, este ensayo es una reflexión exigente sobre los límites de la acción humana y los peligros de ignorar las leyes que rigen la naturaleza y la sociedad. Polémico desde su publicación, el texto conserva hoy una vigencia notable y sigue siendo una lectura imprescindible para comprender los debates contemporáneos sobre población, pobreza y política social.  THOMAS ROBERT MALTHUS. (1766-1834) Economista, demógrafo y pensador social inglés. Nació en Surrey, Inglaterra. En 1798 publicó Ensayo sobre el principio de población, obra que lo convirtió en una figura central del pensamiento económico europeo y que influyó profundamente en debates sobre pobreza, crecimiento demográfico y políticas sociales.
