Malthusian Fundamentals

Malthusian Fundamentals refer to the idea that population growth tends to outpace the development of resources like food and land. When populations grow too large, it can lead to shortages, resulting in factors like famine, disease, or war that reduce the population to sustainable levels. These principles highlight the natural balance between human numbers and resource availability, emphasizing that unchecked growth can threaten long-term stability unless managed by social or technological means. The concept underscores the importance of resource management and the potential consequences of rapid population increase.
