Malthus's "Essay on the Principle of Population" has been a constant source of inspiration and debate for scholars working on relationships between population and economy in a historical perspective. This text explores this active and influential field of research. The contributors go beyond the conventional European and North American geographical boundaries, bringing out new empirical findings and developing new arguments. The volume is divided into three parts. The first part takes up classical issues - the "positive" and the "preventive" checks and their determinants - raised by Malthus himself, and examines the issues against fresh evidence from Europe, America and Asia. These issues are also themes of the second part, which is devoted to short-term fluctuations in mortality and fertility in relation to prices, wages and other economic indicators.
