Malthus


221 years ago Thomas Malthus predicted that the world will populate itself faster than its ability to produce food and would result in a population crisis ... see: The Intelligent Economist. Needless, this Malthusian Theory didn’t come about. The world’s population has increased over seven-fold since Malthus’ time ... yet in much of the world there is a surfeit of sustenance.

Seems other prognosticators find fame making equivalent Chicken-Little forecasts. Actually, Al Gore recently received the coveted Malthus Trophy ... which he proudly displays in one of his Mc-mansions around the world.
