Malthus

Thomas Malthus concluded that

• population increased arithmetically while food production increased geometrically.
• the world's rate of population increase was higher than the development of food supplies.
• moral restraint was producing lower crude birth rates.
• population growth was outpacing available resources in every country.

In comparing Malthus's theory to actual world food production and population growth during the past half-century, the principal difference is that

• actual food production has been much higher than Malthus predicted.
• Malthus's theory predicted much higher food production than has actually occurred.
• actual population growth has been much higher than Malthus predicted.
• Malthus's theory predicted much higher population growth than has actually occurred.
